Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Late post but a fantastic shave to kick off the day! Returned to Martin de Candre and their "Original" shave soap. Fantastically fresh and aromatic scent with a phenomenal lather built with the Paladin badger brush for three passes with the RazoRock Game Changer and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel & Pinaud Clubman aftershave lotion.
Another effortless BBS shave!
Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
A fantastic shave with which to kick off the new month! Returned to ETHOS and their excellent "Rosa" suite. Fantastically true-rose scent with a phenomenal lather built with the Paladin badger brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel, the matching skin food splash & Domenico Caraceni "1913" EdP.
Another effortless BBS shave!
Hope you have a great day.
