Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another fantastic shave this morning. Returned to Martin De Candre and their excellent "Nature" shave soap. Light, soapy scent with phenomenal lather built with the Paladin PK-47 2-Band Select Badger brush for 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 by Chanel "Platinum Égoïste" aftershave lotion & EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Great mid-morning shave today. Returned to my vintage Shulton Old Spice shave soap, aftershave lotion, talc and EdC. Great old school scent with phenomenal lather built with the Ever-Ready C40 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 matching aftershave lotion, talc & EdT.
