Missed using this excellent soap. Did not disappoint at all. Lightly scented but the lather is beautifully rich and very slick...sud use more for SR
Missed shaving with the razor too and today paired with this 1st-time use PTFE blade was a Wow! Super smooth and very efficient! I did palm-stropped the blade. 3passes for a bbs finish. Missed the Clubman aftershave too and it was just awesome...and lasting!

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant weekend.

Great shave this morning! Went with @CBLSoap.com "Cigar Shop Hombre" soap. Fantastic scent and lather. Three passes for a DFS+ and I finished with a splash of "Cigar Aficionado" after shave and a spray of "Havana" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

This is the first brush I bought back in 2008, a 22mm knot with probably 1/3 the hair of todays knots if that. I honestly don’t remember the maker as the label has worn off, maybe Truefitt & Hill? I think it was around $75
I took maybe an inch of the Proraso Red and put it into the damp knot.
Face lathered 3 passes may have been able to pull 4 out of the knot but didn’t need to. The Erik Anton Berg 4/8” razor made a clean sweep of things and gave me a perfect shave.
