Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Went back to Mitchell's Wool Fat with its nice, clean, soapy, powdery fragrance and excellent lather built with the new Wild West Brushworks "Mint Chip" ST Badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Rockwell 6S (plate 5) and I finished with Epsilon "Amber" after shave splash and Penhaligon's "Sartorial" EdT. There's something abut the combination of MWF and Floid (dupe in this case but extremely similar) that just goes together for me and "Sartorial" was the perfect cherry on top.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Went back to Phoenix Shaving and their "4711" homage, "11235". I've stated before that this is an excellent dupe with a superb lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Belfour" Sweet Spot Badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Rockwell 6S (plate 5) and I finished with "4711" after shave splash and EdC. Great summer scent!

Hope you have a great day. :)

What is going on in here? I look at today’s shaves and I see someone who is clearly shaving with a blade that has to be worn smooth at this point followed by someone that’s on the verge of signing up for dollar shave club. 😢
