Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Great shave this morning. Returned to ETHOS Grooming Essentials and Frank's excellent "Mélange d'Agrumes" soap & splash. Wonderfully bright, tart citrus scent providing an incredible lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "REM Cycle" Sweet Spot badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '58 Gillette Super Speed TV Special, and I finished with the matching skin food splash & Acqua di Parma "Colonia" EdC.
Hope you've had a great day.

Let's open the books on this shave:
Preshave - Hot shower
Brush - Phoenix Shaving StarWisp
Bowl - Hendrix Classics & Co. White Metal
Razors - Merkur Shave Futur / HeadBlade Greenblade
Soap/Splash - Catie's Bubbles Purple Grapefruit
Cologne - @indulgentmoments Sunkissed Hibiscus & Pomelo
From Caties website: A relaxing blend of lavender and pink grapefruit essential oils. One of my favorite night time shaves
My thoughts: A truly relaxing scent. Lather came up thick and quick. Plenty of cushion to let the Futur and the Greenblade do a smooth BBS job.
