Late post as I forgot I was going on a little trip this weekend. The Numbers' joined another couple for a bit of day drinking at Lil Beaver Brewery yesterday afternoon, before heading to Arcadia and the Pinball Palace. Unknown to us at the time, MCLean, IL is a dry town. So that meant we had to travel to Atlanta, IL for more beers and some food last night, before returning and overnighting in one of the Hotel Arcadia spaces. It was a fun little trip.
Going to stick with this tube of Proraso Red for the rest of the month. This tube was part of the April 2022 run, and it's about finished, so I hope to kill it off this week.

GFT creams aren't bad. I just killed a tube of Limes not too long ago. I'd say their performance is similar to the Proraso creams. I'll probably pick up another tube in the future.

Bison base is best base.
I know what I'm using for Fougère Friday this week. I really need to grab Sylva before it disappears.
