Hello Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Taking part in the "Bruce Solidarity Shave" this morning. Not completely scent free, but the MWF soap is very lightly scented and could almost pass (depending on your sensitivity), as unscented. Great lather built with the Riva Brush 26mm brush and the Manchurian knot has plenty of backbone for a sufficient load. Two passes with the Tatara Masamune (+ touch-up) and I finished with a splash of Floid Vigoroso and a spray of Prada "Prada L'Homme" EdT. Will continue the solidarity shaves through Saturday and will get things more scent-free for the next two. Bruce / @Graybeard57 you're in my thoughts, brother! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hope you have a great day. :)

This soap & splash is numbingly cold... the brush is excellent!
This rattler is really lightweight. Stroped on the roo leather, the edge is crisp & smooth enough in 2 passes for a bbs-ccs finish...
