Theme: Friday, I'm in Love - I really enjoy several scents. There are few scents that I keep backup amounts. IRM is one of them and my favorite. Unfortunately, I don't have Stirling's EdT or the vintage Irisch Moos EdC. I find putting Stirling's Unscented Balm on top of aftershave helps the scent persist longer.

Daily Challenge: Is wetter better? Yes it is. This wasn't a big hardship today though. A well broken in Zenith boar combined with Precision Loading led to a very comfortable shave. I'm sure my boar was pissed off that he didn't get his usual hot tub treatment before the workout.
