Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning! Went with Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements again, this time using their new (it's actually a reboot) "Coconut Oud" shave soap & splash. At first blush, you'd thinks these two notes (and there are only two notes in this) wouldn't work, but it actually does. Sweet coconut & vanillic notes combined with spicy, dark oud. Super thick and slick lather built with the Paladin "Falstaff" 2-band badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Rockwell 6S and I finished with the matching after shave splash & Yves Saint Laurent "M7 Fresh" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Shave to beat this morning, edging out Tuesday's! Went back to Martin de Candre and their "Nature" shave soap. Incredibly thick and slick lather built with the new Paladin "Mandarin" 2-band badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '58 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with ETHOS Grooming Essentials "Clean" skin food splash & Acqua di Parma "Colonia Essenza" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
