Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Excellent shave today. New soap day with the Mike's Natural Soaps "Bergamot, Orange, Ylang-ylang. The bergamot is most prevalent to my nose with hints of spicy, floral notes (courtesy of the ylang-ylang I'm guessing). Can't really detect much orange, but overall it's a great scent. Returned to the Supply SE as well. Still impressed with this razor. Easy to use and provides a great shave. Great lather built with the Riva Brushes "Purpleheart" Manchurian brush for two passes (+ touch-up) and I finished with Epsilon "Blue Mediterranean" after shave splash and Creed "Bois du Portugal" EdP.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Yaqi 24 mm Atlantis shave brush , replaced the extremely stiff and dense synthetic knot with a 24 mm Manchurian Badger knot from Razor Imporium. Much better brush now. Love the seashell handle on this.
