Strange things...

My father used to shave with a straight blade, and he didn't use shaving cream. He used a shaving soap and a brush to lather his face. I haven't thought about this in practically forever; after all, he died over 50 years ago. However, I have new shampoo that came in my stocking (so I didn't purchase it). I tried it out and BAM!! Smells just like Daddy's shaving soap. Imagine remembering that scent after all these years!

Very neat, @leebee. They say smell is our strongest sense for memories. Nice.

That's wild leebee, nice that it stirred a pleasant memory for you. Any minute now, someone will post about the smell of their grandmother's lasagna and I'm gonna get hungry

This is awesome. I shave this way too. It’s a nice ritual

My grandmother used to use this lotion. Every once in a while I can smell this same scent and always think about her.
