Happy Independence Day! Enjoying a colection of American current and vintage makers today, all with a single theme. As they say "E pluribus unum".

My son wanted his own shave today because "its a holiday". Believe it or not the EdT is a Acqu di Parma clone, the matchup was easy.

What can I say...classic soap with a scent I learned to like but the best is the rich creamy and very slick lather...
I would say a satisfactory shave with the razor. The edge is smooth enough in 3passes for a sas result. Nice combo with one of my favorite aftershave...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Back to work and didn't sleep well last night. Awoke dragging this morning and didn't have time to make coffee at home without being late. So, once again, the work place pour-over rig saves the day! Great shave though! Went back to @Dragonsbeard and his "Fresco" shave soap. Great lime scent with noted of spearmint and basil. Excellent lather for three passes and I finished with a splash of the custom Lime EO skin food splash and a spray of Chanel "Allure Homme Sport Cologne".

Hope you have a great day. :)

Went bananas with today’s shave. Interestingly (to me at least) the soap has the scent of the Gros Michel type banana (what most people think of as the “fake banana flavoring” from candies) and the splash is much more of the Cavendish scent (kind of banana you now typically get in any American grocery store). So the soap/splash are both banana-esque but in different ways. Hope everyone has a great day.

How well do the banana scents mix in the end?
