HC&C I used Year Of The Dragon this morning, third time, and love it more and more each time. I loved it so much that I went to the shopping centre at lunch and got a spray of Stronger With You❤❤❤❤❤
@@Tobins_throwbacks ohhhh, absolutely RIGHT up there. If I have the money spare next month, I will buy the $5 knock-off fragrance available online here.
HA!!!! April 19, 2024 was the day that I made my first wet shaving purchase. Now, nearly 70 days later, I'm SO far down the rabbit hole that I'll probably never see daylight again!!!
@@Tobins_throwbacks, you get an Honorable Mention, at the very least!!! As a matter of fact, I've come to search for your HC&C Rise Of A New Era video again. Off the puck, I just got a 3/10 for intensity. In contrast, I give The Year Of The Dragon a 7 or 8 off the puck. I'm sure they'll both wake up when agitated.
Great rants today. Congratulations go out to Andy as well as prayers. Thanks for clarifying the different “frees”. I thought the thunder was the universe telling you to get more 😅. I can’t wait to see the straight razor. They are my new favorite
Thanks Mike! And lol I always thought the same too, who knew?😅 That razor is making it's way across the pond this weekend. Hope to have my First Impressions up of it next weekend. Have a good one!
🐐 - when I saw you had a Zelda poster on the live stream I knew I was in the right place. I agree on the freebie thing, time is money and I've found out about products I'd never known about because of this channel. Glad you started the subscription thing because your knowledge is definitely worth it. Have a great week! 💈
😊 I'm a HUGE Zelda fan! The only game i haven't played is BOTW2. I still need to buy a Switch. But literally all of the others I have including Gameboy/DS games. 🤓 And thanks, Alex! I appreciate that you appreciate my content!🙏 Have a good one!
@alspencer2794 It's one of Pete's best, I was moving stuff around in the den this past weekend and my wife kept picking up the tub and smelling it. She even recently bought me a small bottle of the YSL EDP that I didn't ask for 😊 I think my wife likes it lol
@@Tobins_throwbacks that’s the first thing I’m going to do, is to run it past my wife. Fun note, our miniature poodle is starting to be a critic of my scents. If she doesn’t like it she turns her head away and won’t sniff it again. Cracks us up😜🤠
@alspencer2794 Curious to know what she thinks. Lol Luna tries to lick some of my tubs when I have her smell them. Especially the sweeter smelling ones.
Great content as always. I agree with the effort you do for your reviews is well worth the artisan sending you a set. Most others give great first impressions as they only use it once but like how you sometimes do first impressions but always use it a few times before your review. I'm the same when they ask for the subscription I hardly do, I only subscribe and comment on videos I like and also unsubscribe when I no longer like that channel. Have a great weekend
Thanks, Mike! I do the same with unsubscribing. If I "like" something it's because I genuinely liked it, not because I was prompted to. Hope your Saturday is going well 🙏
I thought about you during my prep for this video. Thanks again Joe, I love it! I have a few of your soaps already but that is my first splash well done sir great post-shave feel!
Tobin I don’t believe anyone faults that you received items from vendors. All we ask is that you continue to review the items honestly. Not everything that PAA, HC&C etc makes is going to be good. I just want to know your opinion and then we as consumers can make a decision. Thanks for keeping us informed and keeping it real.
Thanks, Wally, unfortunately, some do. I get messages from them. With fragrances, I try to be as thorough with the description knowing that while I like most fragrances (fraghead), many do not. Have a good one!
Great to hear the pup is doing well🙏 enjoyed the Rant and explanation of Discount Code vs Affiliate link. I also don't like to do the self promo "hit like and subscribe" stuff in my videos either, I consider viewers are UTube knowledgeable and will know what to do without me constantly reminding them, like you said I find it annoying when watching other channels. Interesting idea on the razor & brush membership funds. Take care Tobin.👌😎👌
Thanks Lawrie, she's the sweetest thing! I'm glad I'm not the only one with that line of thinking. It's how I felt before I started making videos that's how I still feel about it today. Thanks again!
On the topic of Pearl, get this; They saw I have a few followers on IG and wanted me to review stuff for them, but wanted ME to pay for the shipping. Needless to say, I turned them down, as I don't HAVE $30 spare, never mind to spend on shipping for something I don't even know if I want or not.
They did the same thing to Fred in Norway. He turned them down as well. I've still never bought one of their razors. I have three here on loan. The fact that they don't respect intellectual property is why I don't give them my money. They have ripped off virtually every company I can think of.
Thanks brother! It can be so hard with content just because everything is always questioned by someone. Ugh lol. Seriously, thanks that was a great reminder for today!
Hey Tobin! I was having a laugh when you were talking about your ginger stuff, because I guess I've been around enough gingers all my life that I never thought there was anything out of the ordinary-lol! Just normal ginger skin! Wow, you put down some work and the fence looks great! I'm glad the puppy is doing good too! I've had a couple dogs growing up do the same thing with a rock or chunk of bark. Geez that 2k is coming up fast! Congrats! Take care brother!
Lol people who aren't used to us Ginger-folk get concerned and even send me DMs. Which, don't get me wrong I genuinely appreciate it. Since Friday it's been non-stop, between the fence, the trees, and the pup. And yeah! I thought it would take me 5 or 10 years to get to 2k! #honored Have a great one!
Great video Tobin. You will be at 2K subscribers in no time! A great testimony to your content and how much people are interested in your opinions. 👏 I was driving watching you and that boom from the gaming came over my car speakers loud. I looked up thinking it was thunder 😂. I like the membership levels. Extra content and a chance to win something is worth a few dollars a month. Plus it helps you 😊
Tobin, I'm glad Athena is okay. I've never built a fence, but I know it is extremely labor intensive. I'm glad you completed it. I greatly appreciate your honest and detailed reviews. I want to hear the negative as much as I want to hear the positive. Thanks for all the great videos.

Thanks, Manny! And good to know, Apple doesn't seem to like UA-cam. I have a Samsung but my wife has an iPhone. And she has complained about a few things being different from mine with regards to UA-cam. Thanks again!
Hey there! I was pleasantly surprised to hear you're approaching 2k subs! I thought you had even more. Your brush recommendations are great- A year ago I bought a Simpsons T3 because it seemed like the size most UA-cam videos recommend, but it turned out to be too big for me. After watching your top brush recommendations and seeing you also use smaller brushes, I realized a T2 might suit me better. Anyway, I just got a Simpsons Commodore x2 best badger based on your suggestion, and I'm really looking forward to using it. Here's to you and more awesome videos ahead! Cheers!
Thanks! Yeah, a lot of guys seem to prefer bigger knots. I think it's one of those "boys with toys" things. That if you don't have the biggest shave knot...well, I digress 😊 I like my knots between 22mm and 26mm. Depending on the fibers and how they are packed in the ferrule. Is the Commodore your first badger or just your first Simpson? Mine is still one of my absolute favorite brushes. Have a good one!
Love your content, Tobin! It's been so helpful on my purchases. I have a question that i have always been wondering, and this comes with no animus. I love PAA! But when you talk to Douglas, do you actually call him Douglas, or do you call him Erik?
Thanks, Casey! So, I've only called him Erik like maybe twice. Usually, I just call him Douglas out of respect because most of our conversations are shaving-related, and Douglas is his "work" name. Now that being said he wouldn't mind me calling him Erik. Not one bit. It's just like when people call me Tobins Throwbacks rather than Fetters. I don't mind it. It's the same with Geofatboy, Sig Solo, and Sinatra Lennon. I'd have a hard time calling them anything else unless we were having some type of heart-to-heart conversation as opposed to a shaving conversation. Hope this makes sense.
@Tobins_throwbacks yeah that makes total sense, and I appreciate your honesty, not only here but in your videos. There's no point in relitigating his past business practices. The stuff he sells now is fire. I'm a fully stocked CaD guy and a fully stocked John Frum guy. (If from the those two scents you'd have a suggestion that I may like, I'm here to listen to the guy who knows all the scents). Otherwise, God bless you and your girls!
@trickmuffinful thank you! We all have a past and believe mine isn't pretty. I'm not a felon or anything but there are a lot of things in my past I wish I had done differently. Have you tried High Jump 47 or King R. Emporium those are in the same vein as CaD. King R is available exclusively at Razor Emporium. Have a good one brother!
@@Tobins_throwbacks FWIW - sorry to bear the news but I was just looking at Razor Emporium last night for the King R. Emporium and the don’t have any soap or aftershave splash available. They only have the EDT and star jelly available.
Enjoying the rambling series. I’m glad to hear your dog made out ok. And congrats to Andy and his family!
Thank you, sir!
It’s hard to understand how anyone wouldn’t see the logic about how these “free” products are transactional!
Thanks for the shout out! 😁
Right?! I've seen this mentality even from Content Creators. That they will do affiliate links but not accept "free" gear...🤔 is there a difference? 😆
