Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant weekend.

Fantastic shave this morning. Needed a "green" shave and so I pulled out Phoenix Shaving's "Irish Springs". Been a while since I last used it and had forgotten how refreshing it is. Smells just like the venerable soap and provided a super slick and cushioning base. Three passes with the YAQI + Windrose razor for a nigh BBS result and I finished with the matching splash and a spray of Paco Rabanne Pour Homme.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Fantastic soap and brush combination! Wonderful scent with a rich creamy and slick lather! The brush is just a joy to use.
New Razor just arrived! I just love old & big ax-type razors...this is with a super soft smooth and gentle edge. Another excellent razor from the genuinely good Ebay seller. 2nd W&B from him. Workday rush 2.5passes for an acceptable ccs/dfs result without any issues at all...wow! What a super nice edge. The aftershaves were very good too...

A quick brushless shave with just a brief application of the soap followed by face rubbing is enough slickness for 2passes at setting 9 & 7. Acceptable ccs result and nice aftershaves...nothing like a good shave to face the day...no matter how simple!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning! Went with Stirling's "Duke" soap and splash. Great scent and performance from the soap. Provided an incredibly slick and cushioning base for a three-pass, Damn Fine Shave. Finished with the matching splash and a spray of Burberry "Brit".

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)
