Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave today! Went back to Phoenix Shaving and their 4711 homage, "11235" shave soap. They pretty much nailed the scent. Excellent lather whipped up with the Riva Brushes Manchurian badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the EJ 3ONE6 and I finished with some Muelhens "4711" after shave splash and Creed "Himalaya" EdP.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

The soap's lather is acceptable but the brush is tops with the splash second.
Despite being not good-looking, this razor's edge is just beautiful! Buttery smooth and crisp...for a dfs finish...

Keeps making a nice lather. Loading is just a pain, may need to find a smaller container for the soap scraps.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

A truly "lime-a-licious" shave today! Went back to @CBLSoap.com "Fresh Lime" shave soap. Wonderful lime scent and a nice menthol kick, perfect for this hot and humid day. Excellent lather whipped up with the Semogue SOC Premium Boar brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Gillette Super 109 and I finished with some vintage Shulton "Old Spice Fresh Lime" after shave lotion and Clubman "Citrus Musk" EdC.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)
