Rooney Beehive Ivory Finest (24/50)
Harrods by Floris (tall) SS + Moroccan Rose Absolute/Hydrosol
Carbon Mokume-gane Brass/R2 Copper
Wilkinson Sword 'New' (6)
Calvin Klein Eternity aftershave

Just a couple drops of the Moroccan Rose livened up the facing scent of the old Floris soap. The blade remains sharp and smooth. The aftershave is good but just a bit too heavy with the vetiver for my tastes.

Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Stirling Witchhazel MitA + Hyaluronic
Interesting soap. Quite easy to load, very light pleasant scent, kinda airy type but wow...the lather is really slick...
Shave with razor paired with another Proline blade this time from another kind member in the UK forum. Quite good...smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues resulting in a mostly bbs finish. Somehow I still prefer the guarded AC blades. The Stirling Witchhazel as AS is terrific!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Blah! So tired today. Haven't slept well for the pat two nights. The shots in my back have worn off and now I have something going on with my left shoulder. Can barely lift it above a point level with my shoulder. Hurts a lot! And while sleeping, if I roll over on that side, I immediately wake up. Like Bette Davis said, "Getting old isn't for sissies" LOL!

Great shave this morning. Been a while since I last used the Seaforth Heather. Had forgotten what a great smelling and performing soap it it! Incredible yogurt-like lather! Finished with the matching aftershave toner and a spray of But Special Reserve. Excellent!

Hope you have a great day!
