Back to the Feather Artist Club razor again today. Results were on par with yesterday (except I didn't nick my ear today). Went with Martin de Candre and their excellent "Original" shave soap. Great scent and lather built with the Riva Brushes ST Badger brush. Three passes and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by Brut "Original" Splash On lotion.
Hope you have a great day.

Great shave with which to kick off the work week. Returned to Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and their excellent Aqua Velva homage, "Sacré Bleu" shave soap. Great old school scent and phenomenal lather built with the Paladin "Chief" 2-Band Select Badger brush. Two passes (plus touch-up) with the '49 Gillette Milord I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by "Aqua Velva" aftershave lotion and Caron "Le 3ème Homme" EdT.
