Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave with which to kick off the new month. Returned to Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and their excellent "4711" homage, "11235". Great scent and fantastic lather built with the Wild West Brushworks synth. Three passes with the Feather AC straight (plus slight touch-up around the neck line with the DE) and I finished up with alum, Quinn's "Pink Grapefruit and Orange Rind" witch hazel, Muelhens "4711" aftershave lotion and Pecksniff's "Grapefruit and Citron" talc.

Hope you have a great day. :)
