Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Great shave this morning. Went back to Phoenix Shaving and their special edition meet-up soap/splash set, "Phoenix Lights". The title, of course, refers to the mass UFO sighting which occurred over Arizona in March of 1997.
Fantastic lather built with the Rich Man Shaving brush for two passes (+touch-up) with the Techmatic and I finished with the matching splash. No frag today. The AS is so strong (even after mixing it with some unscented witch hazel and hyaluronic acid serum) that I didn't need anything else.
Hope you have a great day.

Wow, Kell's original! That is a blast from the past! It was one of my earliest shaving soaps. If I remember right the guy was from Texas County, Missouri. I would find his soaps in antique shops and barber shops back in 2012 when I was a salesman in southern Missouri.Edwin Jagger Kelvin Razor

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Great shave to begin the day. Went back to Saponificio Varesino's "Cubebe" soap and ASL. Excellent thick, fragrant lather from the soap built with the Riva Brushes Heather Briar ST (think I'm gonna start calling this guy "Quasimodo") for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Blackland Era and I finished with the matching ASL and some Gianni Versace "Versace Eau Fraiche" EdT.
Hope you have a great day.
