Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave today. Returned to Soap Commander and their excellent "Cheer" shave soap. Fantastic scent and lather built with the Paladin "Falstaff" 2-Band Select 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 Pitralon "Classic" aftershave splash and Houbigant "Fougère Royale" EdP.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Back to the BENGALL Straight
I'd say the TI is a bit keener than the Bengall
But the Bengall is lighter and more nimble
Finish Pass with the Stirling WarHammer
