My shave and beard care for the day. I pretty much always use sets, so my scents match. Is that a big deal for anyone else, or am I a little too OCD about it? 
I'm with you...if I can, I like to match my sets too!

Back on the vintage Gillette trail with a focus on the Aristocrats. Today’s Gillette of choice was the venerable Aristocrat Junior, made in England and of a 1949-52 vintage. This razor would have been from either a No 51 or 53 set but as I didn’t get a case or box with it, I can’t say for sure. This one has a flat bottom and comes with a heft to it. Shaves incredibly well.
Soap of the day was Stirling Tuscany with the matching AS and what a wonderful scent. Just smells like late spring in...well...Tuscany. LOL. Great performance as usual.
Loaded up with an Astra Superior Stainless and worked through a wonderful three pass BBS shave. All around great start to another anticipated long week. Happy shaves all!

Roger that! SCS is such an under-rated soap; I think it's spectacular!
