Hello everyone and Happy New Year.
Great shave with which to kick off the new year. Returned to Saponificio Varesino and their excellent "Dolomiti" shave soap and ASL. Fantastic scent and incredible lather built with the SV 2.0 Manchurian Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '58 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by the marching aftershave lotion and Clubman talc.
Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Great shave this morning. Returned to my vintage Yardley shave soap with its phenomenal lather. No fragrance left, but the lather quality more than makes up for that. Two passes (plus touch-up) with the '59 Gillette Fatboy and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed Paul Sebastian "PS" aftershave lotion, EdC & some Clubman talc.
Hope you have a great day.
