Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning! Returned to Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and their excellent 4711 clone, "11235" shave soap. Wonderful 4711 scent with incredibly slick lather built with the Paladin "High-rise Bee Hive" 2-Band badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Rockwell 6S, and I finished with 4711 after shave splash & EdC.

Hope you've had a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave with which to end the workweek! Returned to Ariana & Evens and their excellent "Limoncello" shave cream from their Pedro Fiasco line. Great boozy, citrus scent scent with superb lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "REM Cycle" Sweet Spot badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the pre-war Gillette Tech, and I finished with Myrsol "Agua de Limón" after shave splash & Acqua di Parma "Colonia" EdC.

Hope you've had a great day. :)

SOTD - 5/17/2024

Phoenix and Beau Bluebird
Shave It Shave Co Nomad Travel Razor with a Muhle R41 Head
Semogue Owners Club Boar

From the P&B Website:

What does it smell of? Bluebird is inspired by the dramatic life of British world speed record breaker, Donald Campbell CBE, and his jet engined, three-point aquaplane, Bluebird. It is a scent that celebrates determination, bravery, adventure, and a life lived as fully as possible. At its top it has notes that include mandarin and pink pepper; its heart grows into the warm tones of vetiver, sandalwood, and patchouli; and its base is secured with grounding shades of tonka and birch.
