Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Back to "appreciation" shaves for today. Broke out the SV "Manna Di Sicilia" to round out the workweek. Gotta say this scent is rapidly becoming my favorite by SV. Soap, matching splash and finished with a spray of Versace "Dylan Blue". Excellent!

Hope you have a great day. :)

Soap Henri et Victoria Cognac & Cuban Cigars
Brush Yaqi 24mm Silvertip
Razor Torrey 5/8 Near Wedge
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Henri et Victoria Cognac & Cuban Cigars Balm
Terrific aromatic cognacish & cigarish scent! Creamy and slick enough for the task...
Another shave with this razor prior to being sent for some work. Overall was ok in 3passes for only sas result. No weepers but some sunburn-like irritation. Although smooth and sharp enough, a part of the edge needed work. Matching aftershave balm was awesome.

Penhaligon's Castile shaving cream (vintage)
Paradigm 17-4/Triad Aristocrat Black
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (7)
Penhaligon's Castile aftershave (vintage)

What a wonderful shave. The brush is one of my favorites, the cream made perfect lather, and the Paradigm brought out the best in the Personna blade. The aftershave finished everything beautifully. I just wish Penhaligon's had made a tallow soap with the same scent.

Soap Stirling Pumpkin Spice
Brush Yaqi 22mm Ever-Helpful 2 Band Badger
Razor Henckel Friodur 472
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Clubman Brandy Spice
Nice, creamy, slick & delicious scented lather from the soap.
This shave with the razor after a 2nd full-pasted balsa progression was better. The edge was still smooth, comfortable, and woooo, sharper! I really like this razor edge material...feels and sounds great! Managed a ccs to sas finish in 3+passes.
