Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another fantastic shave this morning. Returned to Geo. F. Trumper and their excellent "Spanish Leather" shave cream, aftershave splash & EdC. Wonderful soapy leather scent and superb lather built with the Paladin "Somerset" 2-Band Select Badger brush. 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 aftershave splash and Coty EdC.

Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to First Line Shave and their excellent homage to Initio "Oud For Greatness", "Illustrious Oud" shave soap, aftershave splash & EdP. Scent-wise this stuff is a rager! Massive longevity, projection and sillage. Tread lightly when using it. I can only imagine what the Initio frag is like. Fantastic lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "REM Cycle" Sweet Spot Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '61 Gillette Fatboy and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by the matching aftershave splash and EdP.

Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Best shave of the week (so far) this morning. Returned to the vintage Colgate Cup Soap. Very little scent left, but incredible lather built with the Ever-Ready 2-Band Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the British Gillette #58 Set and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by Pierre Cardin "Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur" aftershave lotion and EdC.

Hope you have a great day.
