Hello Cadre! Hope you're having a great weekend.

Busy day today so a late post but it started out with a great shave with both a new brush and soap/splash set. The new brush from Riva Brushes, Italy arrived yesterday and it is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. I love the asymmetrical design. Very organic and just a beautiful brush to simply look at. And the performance was on par with its looks, whipping up a fantastic lather from the Eleven "Lime and Basil" soap. The soap base is fantastic, producing a lather that was thick, rich and very aromatic. A nice combination of tart lime and spice basil with some light floral notes hovering around in the background as well. Very cushioning with excellent slip. Two passes with the Blackland Era and I finished with the matching splash and a spray of Aramis "Havana".

Hope you have a great evening. :)

A great relaxed shave today. The brush is one of my softest, with feather-light hair tips. But it made excellent lather. The cream's top notes are linden blossom, lavender, geranium, lemon and bergamot; middle notes are ylang-ylang, cloves, cedar and rose; base notes are oakmoss, musk, amber, incense and vetiver. The razor did its usual fine job, leaving me BBS. And a soothing finish was provided by the aftershave, with top notes of blood mandarin, grapefruit and mint; middle notes cinnamon, spicy notes, and rose; and base notes of amber, leather, woody notes, and Indian patchouli. It blended perfectly on this very warm morning with the cream's scent.

This morning I was remembering my mother and an episode almost 60 years ago, when I was a brainless teen, and I let her smoke a bit of a marijuana joint, because she had said she was curious about why kids were using it. She had a fit of giggles that must have lasted half an hour, but she decided she didn't want to do it again.

Hello Cadre! Hope you're continuing to have a great weekend.

Another great shave this morning! Went back to @Dragonsbeard / Frank and his excellent "Bergamoto" soap and skin food splash from the Italia Collection. Great lather built with the Rich Man Shaving brush for two passes (+touch-up) and I finished with the matching skin food splash and a spray of Acqua di Parma Colonia "Essenza"

Hope you have a great day. :)
