Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Great shave today. Returned to Barrister and Mann and their seasonal release, "Vespers" soap and splash. Great scent and fantastic lather built with the Brad Sears "Gus" 2-Band Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette "Gold Tip" and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by the matching aftershave splash and Burberry's "London for Men" EdT .
Hope you have a great day.
