Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Yet again, today's shave beat out yesterday's for best of the week (thus far). Returned to CBL Soaps and their excellent "Russian Tea" soap and tonic. Fantastic scent and excellent lather created with the Paladin "Somerset" 2-Band Select 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 tonic and Viktor & Rolf "Spicebomb" EdT.
Hope you have a great day.

I very much prefer using Injector Blades in these DE shavettes
They are a firmer blade and give a superior shave
Finished some bits with the WarHammer
Overall this was a Fantastic Shave

Blade: Supply Black Injector Blade (1X)
Lather: ARKO Stick Soap
Brush: Semogue 830 BOAR
Post Shave: Osage/Mennen Splash Mix

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Another phenomenal shave today. Returned to local soap makers, Soap Commander, and their excellent "Courage" shave soap. Wonderful scent and lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Cu29" Sweet Spot Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '49 Gillette Aristocrat and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by vintage MEM Co. "English Leather" aftershave splash and cologne.
Hope you have a great day.
