An obvious choice for me for this Theme Thursday would be Tobacconist, but I think that if you’re going to have a tobacco note in your scent, plum should accompany it. The shave was so good, a dash of talc was required.

Plum with tobacco… Are you a pipe smoker?
gcgallant@sub.wetshaving.social 10 months ago
No, but I’m considering taking up pipe smoking and/or cigar smoking. Almost everybody in my generation smoked cigarettes and quit for their health. I quit in the late '70s. It has occurred to me that starting to smoke a pipe or cigars after a certain age is low risk relative to the other things that we geezers die from.

Would the small amount of nicotine reignite your addiction? I genuinely don’t know how that works.

I don’t know how it works either. My main concern is the mess. You have to deal with ash and with an oily film that gets over everything.
