Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Best shave of the week this morning! Returned to ETHOS Grooming Essentials and Frank's excellent "Bergamotto" shave soap and splash. Great scent with incredible lather built with the Paladin 2-band select badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '58 Super Speed and I finished up with alum, Quinn's Pink Grapefruit and Orange Rind witch hazel, the matching skin food splash & Proraso "Azur Lime" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
