Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great Friday shave! Returned to Taylor of Old Bond Street and their excellent "Oud" shave cream. Wonderful oud, saffron, rose scent with excellent lather built with the Saponificio Varesino 2.0 Manchurian Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '49 Gillette Milord and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by Czech & Speake "No.88" aftershave splash & EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
