Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave today.. Went back to Mitchell's Wool Fat with its light scent and excellent lather quality. Glad I have a couple of the old, tallow-based pucks in reserve. Not sure I'll ever need more because this stuff lasts a very.... long... time... Two passes (+ touch-up) with the Aristocrat and I finished with some Chanel "Bleu De Chanel" after shave balm and parfum.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave today.. Went with a "mystery soap" that had been under the sink in my bathroom for ages. I'm 99% sure it's a puck of D.R. Harris "Marlborough" soap as there's a crudely etched "M" on the bottom of the bowl. Scent was very light but the lather was excellent. Two passes (+ touch-up) with the 60's "Psycho Tech" and I finished with some Epsilon "Amber" after shave Splash and YSL "Rive Gauche" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)
