Proraso makes amazing shave products. Their shave soap lasts forever. I don’t use a preshave but the aftershave is great. I bought an Edwin Jagger shave kit awhile back which uses Mach 3 blades. I always cut my face with the single blades and it was taking too long to shave. Plus five blade Fusions are too many blades IMO.

For cologne I have basics GIT Adventus Santal 33. At one time I had about 10 full bottles. I’ve paired that down to 3 and buy 10ml samples from ScentSplit, Surrender to Chance and a couple of other split sites (I probably have about 30, some shown) Usually seasonal stuff. I agree that very little of the high quality stuff goes a long way. Especially TF which is crazy strong. I’ve liked Amouage Jubilation XXV and Le Labo Rose lately.

Maybe I’ll try the large Escos. I have a large in Ebisu and my wife makes fun of me for the diaper look. TMI... I have no backside anyhow. So that’s always a problem for me.

Proraso and a badger brush are most necessary if you clean shave. I believe they still make the sandal wood fragrance, wawaweewah its good. I haven’t clean shaved in years though

Edit: I apologize truefitt makes the sandal wood

It was Creed Pure White. It’s empty right now. Neimans used to fill it with whatever I wanted during their refill events but they limited it this year to just a few, so I passed.
lol @ the diaper look. Nice pic! Whats in the creed atomizer?

@CPAJay1221, there is nothing wrong with wearing fragrances as long as you do it with common sense. And No, you will not "make people sick" and people will not 'find you unbearable". There are tons of people who wear frargances everyday without alienating the rest of the world. Do not let one anecdote deter you.

Speaking of sweats in new colors, what we really need are the oversized sweats in some of the new spring colors like Mojave and Sage. I like the colors but I need that OS fit
Word. Would like dark navy and midnight OS sweats too. Maybe JE is hesitant bc Black/grey go for $50 at end of season

Nice. I got mine filled with Jardin D' Amalfi a few years ago. Pure white is excellent and a good bargain in the refill event.

JDA is great too. I have a 10ML sample of that right now. The rep I ran into last time said they were no longer filling them with Royal blends. I think it depends on who you run into though.

I am in for Vintage fleece hoodie in yellow. But seeing that extra advertising and pushing that new "material" and made in LA I am expect them to be priced higher than regular terry hoodies.:brick:

They are certainly hyping fleece up quite a bit like it's a tech fabric.. I'm sure that will be reflected in the price. But hopefully not.

I really doubt it’ll be over the 228 price point. Co-mix fleece OS hoodie from season 7.5 is my GOAT hoodie currently, so 100% in for vintage yellow at the very least. Gonna be on vacation when the drop hits and worried about missing out so I’m gonna have to sneak away from the girlfriend and cop real quick.
