Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave today! Went back to Martin de Candre and their "Agrumes" shave soap. Nice, bright citrus with lemon and tart grapefruit notes most prevalent. Very refreshing and with the PAA "Ice Cube" preshave soap, a nice menthol kick on this hot, humid day. Excellent lather whipped up with the Badlands Shaving "Parrothead" brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the EJ 3ONE6 and I finished with some ETHOS Grooming Essentials Personal Blend "Sicilian Lemon EO" Skin Food Splash.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

Today's soap & excellent brush created a very good creamy slick cool lather & with the matching splash...so cold, perfect for facing a hot humid day. The last use of this excellent vintage razor was in Sept last year and today, combined with the well-used blade last used in Dec...enjoyed a fast but enjoyable 2 pass shave for a dfs finish...

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning! Went back to Ariana & Evans and their "Rio de Janeiro" soap. Lovely tropical scent with notes of Grapefruit, guava and bergamot with hints of light florals atop a soft, woody base. Excellent lather built with the Rich Man Shaving ST badger brush. Two passes (+touch-up) and I finished with Murray and Lanman "Agua de Florida" cologne splash and Alexandria Fragrances "Tropical Night" EdP.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Nice enough lather from the soap+brush combo.
This heavy-weight razor was refreshed again on the HBA, resulting in an enjoyable buttery smooth edge...nice!
