Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Great shave today. Had thought about skipping today since I had a late shave yesterday, but the new soap from The Cajun Blade landed yesterday and decided to give it a try. @Graybeard57 posted so many positive things about them, I had to try them out. I ordered the "Old #2" shave soap. Great scent with notes of sandalwood, patchouli and leather which gives the soap a sense of rustic masculinity. Great lather built with the Simpson "Chubby" 1 Manchurian Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette British No.58 and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by Aqua Velva "Musk" aftershave cologne.
Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Great shave today. I've had this soap for a while but only got around to trying it out for the first time today. Epsilon's "03 Amber" splash is the closest I've found to what Floid used to be. More specifically, the Spanish "Mentolado Vigoroso" version. That one has always been my favorite. The soap has the same great scent. Great lather built with the Zenith B28 boar brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette British No.58 and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by the matching aftershave splash and Acqua Di Parma "Colonia Intensa" EdC .
Hope you have a great day.
