8 May, 2024

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Best shave of the week (thus far) this morning! Also in the running for "Best Shave of the Year"!! Returned to Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and their excellent 4711 homage, "11235". Pretty much identical in scent to its inspiration with a light, green-citrus aroma with incredible lather from the CK-6 base, built with the Paladin "Tigris Perla" badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the RazoRock "Mamba 70", and I finished with 4711 after shave splash & Acqua di Parma "Colonia" EdC.

Hope you've had a great day. :)

My first post, so excited to put it up here. Today's Shave was a return to the 2013 Muhle R41. Only my fourth shave with it but love it a little more each time I use it. Two pass BBS with no touch ups and super smooth on my skin. This Razor always leaves my skin feeling really good with no irritation at all.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning! Returned to Taylor of Old Bond Street and their excellent "Lime Zest" shave cream. Great scent with incredible lather built with the Paladin "Year of the Dragon" badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '61 Gillette Fatboy, and I finished with Shulton Old Spice "Fresh Lime" after shave lotion & layered P&G "Old Spice" + Clubman "Lime Sec" colognes (worked pretty well together).

Hope you've had a great day. :)
