Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Wonderful shave today! Went back to Phoenix Shaving's "Immortal Peach". Such a great summer soap. Three passes and I finished with the matching splash (plus skin food). Temps today are forecasted to be over 100° with heat indices 110° ~ 115° so a lighter frag is mandated. Went with Versace "Eau Fraiche" EdT. 🍑

Hope you have a great day. :)

5 ⭐️ shave today. Inconceivable is a great soap with an amazing scent that bounces back and forth between the citrus and peach notes without ever being too sweet. Very happy that the Geranium note is not very present to my nose, since my brain associates it with rotting plant stems (for whatever reason) so even a little can ruin a scent for me. Anyway, thanks Chris @CBLSoap.com for another great soap!
