@@danblacksher6289 hi Dan, and ouch too lol, glad it's not just me, I need to find someone with a workshop who can "dremel" it out for me 👍🏻👍🏻😎, have a great week dan
Hi John very nice shave and coffee video. I swear one day I will come to you drinking coffee 😅😅😅!But first we all must this dump politicians shot to the moon! Have a great weekend and greetings to Mark Davis the best Guy in the wet shave community!
Ive got to get a few of these pipe tobacco scented soaps out there. Its a favorite of mine. And ive smoked fat bottom betty before. A wonderful cigar, wow. We have a nice cigar lounge in town. Enjoy a nice cigar and a nice whiskey. But i digress lol. Great shave. Paa soaps are phenomenal. Have a great wknd John 🍷
Hi Andrew, I too love those tobbaco scents, the fat bottom Betty came in a multi pack..... Just 1, but I'll definitely be getting more, have a great week Andrew 😊😊😁👍🏻👍🏻
Hi John, great shave. I actually stumbled upon an after-shave a year ago from a French company called Le Père Lucien and the after shave is called “oud-santal” which is an oud/sandalwood mixture and this is actually one of my favourite scents. My shave of the day was with the Moon Amaretto shaving soap and after shave, absolutely wonderful! Have a great weekend!
Nice shave John! The Amber Aerolite is one I want but never pulled the trigger on, I really luke the handle. I have a aftershave sample of Briar somewhere, I'll have to find it and give it a whiff 😄👍 SOTD: Stirling Sandpiper soap, splash, and balm, the RazoRock 400 aluminum handle Noir Plissoft knot, and the Yaqi Romulus Open Comb with a Kai Pink Captain Titan Mild blade. Have a good one, and be on your best behavior now that the boss is back! Steve Steve
Hi Steve,.... It's a great brush, I hope you find you sample, I saw a plissoft on ebey last week but when I went back it had gone!!!, have a great week Steve 👍🏻
Hi John brilliant shave for you! Love PAA sounds very similar to Cavendish I have in the den it’s amazing.dont have the Amber aerolite unfortunately maybe down the line sometime soon will purchase.hope you enjoyed your jam shed on Sat evening wine 🍷 😊 i was Drinking pints of Guinness at the wknd very nice indeed! You have a great week and take care 🙂🙌👍🏻
Hi Michael, it is very similar Cavendish to my nose, both are excellent, the jam shed was nice, enjoy the black stuff 🤣🤣🤣🙏👍🏻👍🏻, have a great week Michael 👍🏻
I'm always surprised when you shave with a very mild razor. But the Henson+ does the job. And that PAA Aerolite Amber brush is my softest synthetic. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. You'll have to be on your best behavior now that the boss has returned.
Hi Bart, yeah some mild razors do me OK, but I do have to fight the tenancy to press....... Boss lady already clipping my wings lol😁😁😁, have a great week bart 👍🏻
@@johnshaves101 I'm usually a daily shaver, but I skipped a day and used my Henson+ for two days of growth. Voila! A BBS result after 3 passes and pickups.
Briar is the perfect flanker to Cavendish. Years ago at a meetup where Douglass was in attendance, if my memory is correct, he said Briar is Fran's creation.
@@pjwroblewski thanks for the info Patrick, it's a fantastic scent, sat here now I actually pick up a hint of butterscotch, have a great weekend mate 👍🏻
Love Briar! I do the same with Star Jelly and Splash SJ after the shave (or Mysterium Serum), then later splash and maybe EDP. Totally love the Amber Aerolite brush, probably my most used brush. Love the handle most of any!
Another great shave John! I absolutely love Fat bottom Betty stogies. I just bought a five pack of the gordos to smoke around my fire pit in this autumn. Mix in a little glass of bourbon and a perfect evening is to be had! All the best to you and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Crack on!😂
Great shave John. I have the razor and the brush but I’m not familiar with Briar. Anything with the scent of pipe tobacco is good. Have a nice weekend.
I like tobacco scents, and I had two oud sets I like - so I picked up a Tobacco Oud set from HSSC. Ugh - way too perfumy for me, and I didn't think the two scents combined particularly well. It's a popular set though, so other noses like it.
Shave of the day? The Body Shop Macca Root cream and aftershave gel. Yaqi 24mm faux badger Beehive. King C Gillette head on the @alphashaving titanium handle. Dorco Prime blade. Home mentholated Boots teatree witch hazle.
John discovers niche frageances... 😅 As you like "inspired by" fragrances, a good option in the UK is Perfume-Parlour. You can get different oil concentrations (the difference between EdT, EdP and Extrait (that is also called Parfum). And they are reasonable priced to get a sample. And if you are into Oud now, you might have a look into Xerjoff, they have a whole Oud Stars collection, most famous is their Alexandria II. I myself like from that series Ceylon, it's Oud and Ceylon Tea.
And in case you want dive deeper into quality stuff, GenericPerfumes from Kuwait has even higher quality "inspired by", and have even more rare niche fragrances (eg. Roja Perfumes, who does a lot with Oud, too, his Amber Aoud or others are legendary - or Boadicea the Victorious, who has also a lot of Oud-centered fragrances). The special there: they have also Attar, that is pure fragrance oil. No alcohol to spray, just oil to dab on, it's the most powerful to wear. They do international shipping, and almost monthly the have offerings, most interesting are the ones with free international shipping. Not to make advertising for both companies I mentioned, only to show up new options. I almost tend to get a non-fragrancy soap and splash, and add my own touch with the "inspired by", in the scent strength that fits my liking and mood.
I don't get the obsession with coconut water..... DISGUSTING! people drink that... We are not on Gilligan's Island people... STOP IT! LOL rant over... Hi John! :)
I used to think that i would dislike oud, but there is something very intriguing about a well done oud scent.
Absolutely right lee, at the risk of sounding like a snob, I think is something that just has to be the high end, anything less is rubbish 🤢🤢🤔
I love my Henson razors! I have the Titanium one too which is twice the weight.
@@larrysoblotne541 it's a great razor Larry, I just wish I could find a +++ base plate 😂 😂 😂 😂
@johnshaves101 I think the more aggressive Henson would cause me irritation. I'm just a sensitive guy.
Did the same thing with a Paa brush boiled it tried to pull the knot out and pulled the back of the handle off. PAA uses some great glue.

It is considered a treat here in Thailand. I got a coconut for my mum, who spat it out and said it tasted like jizz
Awkward lol 😂 😂 😂 😂
Did you really manage to have just one coconut ring?!
Nope 🤣🤣🤣🤣😊😎😎😋😋, 2, or was it 3, actually it might have been 4 😂😂😂
Hi John, You always put a smile on my face! I have not seen those coconut rings here, but will look for them now! Nice PAA shave. Best regards, Glenn
Haha thankyou Glenn, those lil rings are so yummy, have a blessed week glen😋😋🙏🙏😍
No need for that. I was yelling Treet at you the whole time.
