Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Phenomenal shave this morning! Easily best of the week and now in the running for best of the month! Returned to Phoenix Shaving and their "Immortal Peach" shave soap and splash. Fantastic scent with incredible lather built with the Brad Sears "Gus" 2-band badger brush for three passes with the '59 Fatboy and I finished up with alum, the matching aftershave lotion, Pecksniff's "Grapefruit and Citron" talc & Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
