Result: Pirate Day v2. 4.7/5.0 Arrrrgh, ye hearties. It's Pirate's Day. Bay Rum for all! As you can see at least I have enough Bay Ray to last me for a while. Hate to run out of that. I might mutiny myself. Can I do that? I chose today's products for variety and personal favorites. The Shave Den Bay Rum Soap in honor of JoAnna, the Ogallala products for their outstanding scents, and the Saint Charles Shave Bay Rum with a Twist for it's striking subtleness. I know that sounds like a paradox but, it's one of those things where it has an outstanding scent but doesn't do it in a way that makes people say things like "you put too much cologne on." I one passed the Feather ACD-N with a little touchup since I wanted to extend the shave by using the Merkur 34G for the other passes. I had so much nice lather in the bowl that I wanted to use it up. Now, time to go pet my parrot and drink some rum. Yo Ho!
