Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great late morning shave today. Returned to my vintage Colgate Cup Soap. Not much scent detectable, but a great lather built with the Simpson "Chubby" 1 Best 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 vintage "English Leather" aftershave lotion & EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Stirling Soap Co, and their excellent "Bay Laurel" shave soap and splash. Nice warm scent with notes of bay laurel, orange, nutmeg and cinnamon. I can detect some clove in there as well though it isn't listed. The wife really liked it, which is something! Great lather built with the Moon Soaps "Green Zebra" synth for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '67 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by the matching aftershave lotion & Murray and Lanman "Florida Water" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
