Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. New soap day with the Ariana & Evans "Cuban Highball". Nice fruity, boozy scent with superb lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Rosé Noir" ST badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Rockwell 6S (plate 5) and I finished with Czech & Speake "Cuba" after shave & EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)

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. :)

That's 1 beautiful brush I'm envious of that!
 
Finally got a Gillette Fatboy Adjustable razor, hard to get for a cheap price nowadays
. Everyone wants 1. Now I know why!. Set on setting 3, but quickly went to max setting of 9, once use to straight razor light touch. Was easy to go aggressive . Nivea balm . Soap Massacre of the Innocence. Smilez4Milez Olive wood and red resin handle with a Razor Imporium Machurian bulb Silvertip Badger knot. Really breaking in nicely. Shave Nation Lather bowl . Lather leftover from a previous shave. Waste not want not!
