Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Wonderful shave this morning! Went back to Saponificio Varesino and their 70th Anniversary SE soap and AS. Great lather for two passes built with the Riva ST for two passes (+ touch-up) and I finished with the matching ASL and some YSL L'homme EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hi guys, I haven't posted anything for a while mainly because I was really busy at work and I hadn't time to breath. This Italian, Tuscan producer, a friend, made this limited edition which is sold out already ad I couldn't resist and I bought it. In Italian to express that someone got drunk we say he has a monkey. We say the same in the little world of wet shavers to mean that you got that impulse or better that craze to buy a new wet shaving thing. That's why there's a monkey hiring me saying "you" looking at me 😂😂😂🙊🙈🐒 It is a set up with a scent inspired to Chanel Egoist Platinum, perfect for summer time.

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Nothing fancy or flashy about today's shave, but the results were stellar. Actually had a whole other shave planned but before jumping in the shower I grabbed the tub of RazoRock's excellent "P.160 Special Shaving Soap" and went with it instead. Excellent lather whipped up with the Semogue SOC Super Badger for two passes (+ touch-up) and I finished with some Nivea Men "Sensitive" ASB and some Tome Ford "Oud Wood" EdP.

Hope you have a great day. :)
