Good morning Cadre! Hope you had pleasant evening.

New soap day with 345 Soap Co. "Den Of Thieves" soap and splash. This set is an homage to Tom Ford's "Rive D'Ambre", with a nice blast of citrus atop a bed of warm amber and light green notes. As with yesterday's set, I have never tried the frag it's based on so I can't comment on its accuracy. The scent is very light. Not sure if I got an older tub but even face lathering didn't seem to make the notes any more pronounced than directly off the soap. The real star here was the lather which was built with the new "Underground Pool" 26mm ST badger brush from Badlands Shaving. Superb slip and cushion with great post-shave face feel. Wonderful! Two passes (+touch-up) and I finished with the matching splash and a spray of Tom Ford "Tom Ford for Men" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had pleasant evening.

Back to Stirling Soap Co. for my Friday shave, this time going with their homage to Armani "Acqua di Gio", "Dunshire". The weather's slowly warming up and I'm starting to incorporate more of my "warm weather" scents into my shave rotation. Unlike my last two shaves, I do have this frag and Stirling did a great job replicating it. Great scent strength both off the soap itself and when lathered. Thick, slick, yogurt-like lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Lagoon" 26mm ST badger brush. Two passes (+touch-up) and I finished with the matching splash and a spray of Giorgio Armani "Acqua di Gio" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)
