Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Continuing on with yesterday's music theme, here's some more good old fashion rock for your morning music! Hope you enjoy!

Initial shave with the Victory soap this morning and I really liked it! Nice, slick lather and the post shave face feel was nice! Scent was great as well.

Hope you have a great day!!

I agree with your thoughts about Victory Shave’s soap. While the majority of my soaps are tallow based. @BarberDave convinced me to give this a go. Glad I did. Solid performance. Good price and great scent and strength of scent. Like the musical selections today as well. Have a good day.

New brush looks great Mark! The bottom looks kind of like a swirly red bleed out, fitting for October.

Thanks, Chris. It's actually more orange / amber.. I guess up against the dark background makes it look more red..

Love the name of that soap.

Love the name of that soap.

I love that (unlike Proraso Green soap/cream) it has dang near the exact same scent as Proraso splash.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant night.

Let's get the tunes going this morning! Last night I had an epiphany... This journal needs MORE COWBELL!!!

Great shave to close out the week! Love the scent of the "Seville" and the lather it produces is exquisite! EdT landed yesterday so I had to use it all this morning.

Hope you have a great day!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

Let's get your Monday rocking with some Journey!

Great shave this morning! Really liking Barrister and Mann's "Leviathan"! Wasn't expecting it to be as coffee-forward as it was scent-wise. Kinda put me off a little at first. I love coffee and I love the smell of coffee, but I don't wanna be walking around all day smelling like a "cuppa"... Luckily the coffee note doesn't stay long and the cedar, musk and leather come through. Liked the balm as well. Moisturizing, absorbs quickly and doesn't feel heavy or greasy afterward. Two-passes and a touch up with the Game Changer / Wizamet combo and I was ready to go. Finished with a spritz of Paul Sebastian.

Hope you have a great day!

That's good to know. As much as I like coffee, I also don't want to smell like it. Cedar, musk, and leather suit me just fine.
