Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Oy vey! After the weekend I had, I really need something relaxing this morning. Hope you enjoy.


Great shave this today. Skipped yesterday due to a relatively late shave Saturday so today's shave was extra nice. First use of the "Honeysuckle" soap / splash from @Dragonsbeard and it was phenomenal! Very pleasant, very natural honeysuckle scent that is naturally sweet without being "perfumy". Great lather from built with the Rich Yuengel Breakwater" HD ST badger brush and I finished with the matching skin food splash and Faberge "Brut Original" EdT

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

A couple from Sting for you today off his second solo release, 1987's Nothing Like the Sun. Hope you enjoy.



Been a long time since I last observed "Tabac Tuesday". Hell, it's been a long time since I last used Tabac! Remedied that today. Excellent lather built with the Riva Brushes ST badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the RazoRock Game Changer and I finished with the matching ASL and cologne.

Hope you have a great day. :)
