Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Phenomenal shave this morning! Returned ETHOS Grooming / @Dragonsbeard and Frank's excellent "Russian Tea" soap and splash. Great scent with notes of lemon, orange, cinnamon, clove and tea with super thick and slick lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Cu29" Sweet Spot Badger Brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '57 Gillette Red Tip and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by the matching skin food splash & Burberry "London for Men" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Late post but a great shave to start the day. Returned to Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and their excellent Skin Bracer homage, "Shave Chaser". Spot on dupe of the juice with phenomenal lather built with the new Simpson "Chubby" 3 Best Badger Brush 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 Mennen "Skin Bracer" aftershave splash, Clubman talc & Floris "No.89" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)
