Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave today. Returned to Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and their great seasonal release, "Cane" shave soap and splash. Fantastic scent with a sharp talc-infused peppermint and vanilla top which morphs into a vetiver, oakmoss and musk base. Excellent lather built with the Paladin "PK-47" 2-Band Select Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '61 Gillette Fatboy and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by the matching aftershave splash and Czech & Speake "Frankincense & Myrrh" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Harris "Sandalwood" aftershave splash and Elizabeth Arden "Arden Men Sandalwood" EdC.
