Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Gonna be close to 80° the next few days so I'm bringing out some of my warmer months scents. Today I went with one of the new ones from @Dragonsbeard , "Bergamotto". Man, this stuff smells great! Fresh, bright with a hint of a peppery herbalness. Exceptional lather whipped up with the new Zenith Manchurian for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 and I finished with the matching splash and Pepe Jeans "London Cocktail" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning. Been a while since I last used this soap/splash combo and I had forgotten both what a nice scent and lather it has. The new Semogue SOC Super Badger blew my mind! One of the best brushes I've ever used. The tips were extremely soft right out of the box and no funky scent that I could detect. Two passes (+ touch-up) with the Fatboy and I finished with the matching splash and Creed's "Royal Mayfair". The frag complemented the soap and splash nicely, with an added boozy, spicy, juniper gin note added to the interplay of the woody. citrus, rose notes from the soap & splash.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)
