Looks like @celestino is MIA this morning so I'll take the initiative and start a new SOTD Thread

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

Great shave today! Great scent and performance from the Zingari Soap and splash. Nice and dark spice / rose scent with a touch of woods. Finished with a spray of Creed's Royal Mayfair EdP to brighten it up a little. Great start to the week!

Hope you have a great day! :) 🌹

Nice enough soap. Mild pleasant scent but creamy and slick lather. This new synthetic brush is different. The bristles are not as soft and it feels stiffer...more back-bone more scritches. I like it...at least it's different from other Yaqi synthetics.
Shave with razor paired with the blade was another nice, smooth and comfortable 3passes without any issues for a bbs to dfs result. Good aftershaves.

Stirling soaps are truly awesome and this is no exception. Love the aromatic scent and enjoyed the gorgeous creamy slick lather...
Shave with razor paired with the well-used blade was still good, still smooth, comfortable & efficient enough but just not as silky when new. Managed 3passes for a mostly bbs finish but suffered 1 unexpected weeper. Aftershaves were excellent with the balm prolonging the lovely aroma.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave today. "Beachy Barbershop" vibe for today's shave. Went with Phoenix Shaving's "Good Vibrations". Great, slick lather from the soap with nice cushion and post-shave face feel. Finished with the matching splash (+ skin food) and solid cologne.

Hope you have a great day. :)

The cream made fantastic lather once again. The H&S razor head feels like I am holding a big wooden mallet in my hand, but it gives me an excellent close shave. And the balm is one of the few that I really like; it's a shame it is no longer made.

Awesome quality from the cream. Pleasant scent, very easy to create a creamy and super slick lather...
Shave with razor paired with this favorite blade was awesome as well. So smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs glass feel finish. Cooling aftershaves were excellent on this oven-hot day as I will be working directly under the sun for most of the day...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a wonderful evening.

Great shave today. Fine's "Lavender Pour Homme" is an exact match for Czech & Speake's "Oxford & Cambridge" cologne, my favorite masculine lavender. Soap, matching splash (plus skin food) and a spray of O&C cologne and I'm ready to face the day!!

Hope you have a great day. :)
