Best shave of the week (thus far) today. Returned to Furbo and their excellent "Blu" shave soap. Great "Floid Blue" scent with incredible lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Lagoon" HD ST badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Timeless Razor TRBR38, and I finished with Epsilon 01 "Blue Mediterranean" after shave splash and Acqua di Parma "Colonia" EdC.
Hope you've had a great day.

Scent Description from the Stirling Website:
Made with Benzoin, Frankincense, Clove, and Nutmeg essential oils. This soap smells like an older gentleman’s pantaloons at the end of a hot July day in Philadelphia, drafting important documents with no air conditioner. It’s actually a very unique scent that reminded a few of my testers of a root beer float. An instant favorite.
NOTE: The description is tongue-in-cheek. It smells like a wonderful blend of Frankincense, Benzoin, Nutmeg, and Clove. It doesn't actually smell like sweaty old man pants. As of 3 March 2015, we have been averaging about 2-3 inquiries per week as to why we would make a soap that smells like an older gentleman's trousers......
Today's shave beat out yesterday's for "best of the week (thus far)". Returned to ETHOS Grooming Essentials and Frank's excellent "Honeysuckle" soap & splash set. Great natural honeysuckle scent with incredible 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 the matching skin food splash and Acqua di Parma "Colonia Essenza" EdC.
