A question for the General.
How does the First Lady get on with El Dorado and Special Reserve?

Well she hasn't complained!

Special Reserve has been in my rotation for some time now (that bottle from Pasteur has been topped up - the price is up to $9.48 now!)

Good to hear. I really enjoy both those scents, but was wondering how they faired with the ladies.

Back in the big smoke - and a wonderful shave!

The soundtrack for this shave was a no-brainer:
'Force of Nature' by Pearl Jam.

"One man stands the edge of the ocean, a beacon on dry land;
Eyes upon the horizon, in the dark before the dawn."
 
Beautifully buttery shave, so good I had to check the blade was actually touching my skin on 2nd pass

Who wants babes? They're best left sleeping in their cradles. :facepalm:

By the same token, what sane man would want 72 virgins? That sounds like hell. Maybe some guys spent too much time in the sun and it's addled their brains...
