Artisan Retailer / Hobbyist Appreciation Shave of the Day

7 August, 2021

Good morning Cadre!

Went back to Saponificio Varesino for today's shave. "Dolomiti" this time and as always, it provided a fantastic shave. In fact, I've had fantastic shaves all week. The Cadre's artisans and hobbyists are all indeed at the top of their game! Cheers!

Hope you have a great day. :)

OK Folks:
Again thanks to all of you who participated. This evening some time I will close this thread for a bit, and start getting items together for the giveaway and do a random pick via post here, or maybe a video on Sunday. Afterwhich, instead of closing the thread, It will be re-opened, and renamed, TSC Artisan-Retailer Appreciation Shaves, and feel free to post your shaves, or when using TSC artisan retailers / hobbyist items moving forward
 
For the last day of Vendor appreciation week I decided to do something a little bit outside the box, and a bit special, and pay tribute to our Artisan Emeritus, Sue from Honeybee Soaps.

Also used a matching AS from Stirling and my TSC Legacy brush from Sorrentino.
