Good evening Cadre! Hope you're having a great weekend.

Late post. Out today with the missus, shopping and lunch at a local Greek restaurant (always support your local businesses).

Great shave this morning. Back to the "appreciation" theme this weekend. SV is always a sure bet. "Felce Aromatica" soap and AS with the new brush I got with the giveaway. Beautiful @Knothead ivory handle into which I set a Silk Smoke synthetic knot. Fantastic shave!

Hope you're having a great weekend. :)

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

Fantastic shave today! I observed "No-Shave Sunday" yesterday so that means today's shave was especially nice! Got in Frank's / @Dragonsbeard new soap in the new F Base (F for "firm") and, as with all Frank's wares, I was blown away by the scent and performance. Three passes for a DFS+ result. Finished with a splash of Frank's "Clean" skin food splash with a little RazoRock "Essential Oil of Lime" AS mixed in and a spray of Versace "Eros" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

It was very nice! The scent of the new soap is incredible. So refreshing! A very nice lime/herbaceous scent that IMO would work year round and not just in the warmer months. It was easy to load and lather the new F base and it provided the same slip and cushion, as well as the wonderful post-shave face feel as Franks original base.

I just dropped another order with Frank for a bottle of the "custom" scented skin food splash in the "Fresco" aroma blend.

Is SV using new soap containers now?

No Mark, That was a special edition when Felce went 4.3. They did it for a few of their line back a few yrs ago before evrything went aluminum. The Aluminums were originally for and sold to and for barber use only for both the soaps and Aftershaves

Wonderful shave this morning. skipped yesterday so today's was especially nice! My @Dragonsbeard ETHOS Personal Blend skin food in the "Fresco" fragrance blend landed yesterday so, of course I had to use it today. 😁

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

Those are some pretty handles! I'll have to put them on the wish list! I love those coins as well. Is he the gent that had the fire a couple of years ago? The name sounds familiar - if it is - it is great to see he's back on track!
