Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Best shave of the week (thus far) this morning. Returned to Saponificio Varesino and their excellent "Cosmo" shave soap & ASL. Wonderful scent and incredibly slick and cushioning lather built with the SV 2.0 Manchurian Badger Brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '49 Gillette Milord and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by the matching aftershave lotion, a dusting of Yardley "Gentleman" talc & Chanel "Antaeus" EdT.

Hope you have a great day.

SOTD - 1/9/2025

Sir Winston (Collaboration by Gentleman’s Nod and Bullgoose Shaving)
Il Marchese Elitario (Elite) SHD 30 Two-Band Shaving Brush
Razor by Rod George

From the Bullgoose website:

Sir Winston is our take on the classic English fragrance Blenheim Bouquet. This version opens with a fresh citrus accord with lemon as the dominant player then lime. Next comes a fragrant blending of lavender and pine leading into a warm spicy base of black pepper rounded out with musk. It's a fresh, clean, simple scent that can easily be enjoyed Spring-Fall.
