Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Went back to Martin de Candre and their "Nature" shave soap. Not completely scent free. There's a light, "soapy" scent from the base (I assume) which is very nice. Incredibly thick & slick lather built with the Zenith B33 for two passes (+ touch-up) with the '56 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with Pierre Cardin ASL, ASB & EdC

Hope you have a great day. :)

SOTD - 12/1/2023

Ariana & Evans - Barbiere di Famiglia Limes di Sicilia
Brush by Grizzly Bay
Karve Overlander

From the A&E website:

Barbiere di Famiglia is the brainchild of my daughter Thalia during our most recent trip to Italy. She wanted to introduce a brand which is eco friendly with glass jars & sustainable labels. The base is in our all new VR2 vegan base. Packaging and everything about these offerings will be unique, forward thinking and without compromise.

The soap is presented in a luxurious 5oz glass jar

Scent notes: Sicilian lime & lemon, Lime Terpenes, Mexican distilled lime, Mandarin, Yuzu, Clary Sage Hibiscus, Palo Santo, Wormwood, Pettigrain, Guaic Wood, Cedar, Labdanum

My first pass wasn't very smooth so I went to a new Feather for the 2nd & 3rd pass. It was a big improvement.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Went back to Proraso's "Nourishing" (aka Red) cream and AS and their "Nature" shave soap. Great lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Mint Chip" badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Aristocrat and I finished with the matching AS & ASB.

Hope you have a great day. :)
