Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a wonderful weekend.
Absolutely fantastic shave this morning! One of those mornings where the Shaving Gods smile down and everything goes right. Excellent lather from the Saponificio Varesino soap, whipped up with the YAQI "Bali" brush. Two passes (+ touch-up) with the 61 Fatboy and I finished with the matching ASL and a couple of sprays of Czech & Speake "No. 88" EdC.
Hope you have a wonderful; day.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
The wife and I were speaking last night about where we'd love to travel when we retire. One place I've always wanted to visit is Sedona, AZ, among other places out west. So I needed a "desert vibe" this morning and reached for the tub of @CBLSoap.com "Hombres Barber Shop". Rich, fragrant lather whipped by the Zenith boar for two passes with the W. Hohn Custom DE and I finished with the matching splash and a generous spray of Creed "Royal English Leather". Excellent!!
Hope you have a wonderful day!
