Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Much better night's rest last night and in a better mood today because of it. 🎉

Fantastic shave today. Went with Moon Soap's "Havana" soap and splash. Great summer combo. Finished with a spray of Mont Blanc "Individuel" which, if you're a fan of Creed's Original Santal but not of its price tag, is a more wallet-friendly alternative.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Another W&B (hollow) ~7/8ths with some new shoes.
The coticule edge on this leaves behind a velvet smooth face to remind you of what Sheffield steel can do.
This old blade has pitting which ends up working out as pretty good jimps on the shank.
This shaver made it back to me at the same time that Grecian Horse made it my way.
Subconscious or Serendipity whatever you call it.

Lovely three pass shave and BBS for the win. Hands down the AS-D2 is king of the den. Not the prettiest but functionally the best shaver I have. Now that is a feat unto itself. Happy Tuesday Cadre!

Soap The Goodfellas Smile Sea Citrus 1st Use
Brush Yaqi 24mm Atlantis
Razor Pearl Open Comb on Yaqi handle
Blade JAWS Platinum 3rd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic + TGS Sea Citrus
Mmmm...the 1st thing that I smell is salty water-like scent..wow...marine scent... appropriate indeed. This soap's lather is great...richly creamy and very slick!
Shave with razor paired with the blade in 3passes was another enjoyable, smooth and efficient session without any issues for a mostly bbs finish.
It was safe to go back in the water after all!! Unless of course, if there's a Kraken waiting...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning. The menthol kick from the MitA soap was just what I needed to jump start my morning! Great lather and scent with chilly, boozy, limey goodness! Finished with the matching witch hazel and aloe splash and a spray of Versace "Eau Fraiche" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)
