Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Best shave of the week thus far today! Returned to Noble Otter and their excellent seasonal release, 'Tis The Season" soap and splash. Excellent scent and lather built with the Wild West Brushworks HD ST Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by the matching aftershave splash and Burberry "London for Men" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Today's shave superseded yesterday's as best of the week (thus far). Returned to Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and their seasonal release, "The Shaving" soap and splash. Another homage (like Tuesday's shave) to King's novel, The Shining (this one also references Kubrick's film). Excellent scent (sort of bay rum meets Christmas cookie) and phenomenal lather built with the Simpson "Chubby" 2 Super 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 Burberry "London for Men" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)
