Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Contender for best shave of the week this morning. Returned to Saponificio Varesino and their excellent "Dolomiti" shave soap & ASL. This is by far my favorite SV soap. The mineral clay used in this soap provides a fantastic post-shave face feel. The scent it light with a citrus top but, to me, morphs into and almost medicinal / incense type scent thanks (I believe) to the sage note. Incredible lather built with the SV 2.0 Manchurian badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette Super Speed, and I finished with the matching aftershave lotion & Czech & Speake "No.88" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another fantastic shave this morning. Returned to my vintage Crabtree & Evelyn "Mysore Sandalwood" shave soap. Great lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Bisbee" Sweet Spot badger brush. The scent it light but there's still some of the sandalwood when lathered. I finished with D.R. Harris "Sandalwood" aftershave splash & Arden for Men "Sandalwood" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
