  • Brush: Heritage Erskine w/ Gel Boar
  • Razor: Karve CB
  • Blade: Wizamet (3)
  • Lather: Chiseled Face – Bay Rum
  • Post Shave: Chiseled Face – Bay Rum
  • Fragrance: Zoologist Perfumes – Tyrannosaurus Rex

Challenge: I’ve taken up a lot of hobbies over the years; probably too many. I aquire new ones periodically, or get back into old ones. I got really into disc golf about 5 years ago. If you don’t know what disc golf is, it follows the rule of golf but is played with flying disc (we don’t like it when you call them frisbees, that’s a brand name). You start each hole by throwing off a tee area and count the number of throws it takes to get the disc into a designated basket. I discovered disc golf by driving past a course and seeing people play, which is actually how a lot of people start playing. Unlike ball golf (yes, we call normal golf “ball golf”), disc golf looks like fun when you watch people play.

Check out /r/discgolf and you’ll probably see lots of disc golf doing what we love most; posting pictures of discs we just bought. There's generally conversation about the current pro tournament and players. You’ll probably also see a lot of post and comments about smoking and drinking on the course.

Here’s some jargin for you: bomb – a long distance to throw a disc (“nice drive, that was a bomb.”); ace – hole in one; field ace – a throw in from distance that isn’t an ace; hero shot – an iladvised tricky shot, usually to make up for a bad shot.

I won this soap and splash from bay rum connoisseur /u/jeffm54321. Upon opening the soap I was greeted with a big aromatic note of bay. This fragrance also has an anise sweetness. I don’t get anything boozy from the soap. The splash has a strong menthol burn. It smells of bay, anise, and a touch of something resembling Jamacian rum.

fragrantica says that Tyrannosaurus has fresh spicy notes. When I smell it, the first thins I notice are smokey cade oil, rose, an animalic note, and general incense vibes. In terms of spice, there’s a bit of a cummin or nutmeg note. There’s definitely some coniferous wood notes. Overall, it’s a powerful fragrance. I doubt dinosaurs smelled like civet. Especially not the Jurassic Park variety. However, the composition feels exotic, domineering, and primal, fitting of an apex predator.
