Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Borrowing a page from the @bosch playbook this morning, pairing MdC "Original" shave soap and "Floid". Very nice! It's been a while since I last used the soap and I'll definitely begin using it more often. Great scent and excellent lather built with the Riva Brushes ST badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the RazoRock Game Changer and I finished with the aforementioned "Floid" splash and Creed "Bois du Portugal" EdP.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave today. Went back to Saponificio Varesino and their "Dolomiti" shave soap & ASL. The scent is hard for me to describe. Almost a medicinal / herbal / botanical note off the soap but there are more citrus, woody, spicy notes with the ASL. But the real star here is the lather. Very slick and cushioning, built with the Zenith Manchurian badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Badlands Shaving Cocobolo DE and I finished with the matching ASL and Acqua di Parma "Colonia" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
