Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Phenomenal BBS shave this morning! Fantastically thick and slick lather from the vintage Crabtree & Evelyn soap built with the Aylsworth "Altare" G5 synth. Three passes with the '56 Gillette "Gold Tip" and I finished with alum, Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, vintage Crabtree & Evelyn For Men aftershave lotion and Crabtree & Evelyn "Sienna" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning! Great lather from the Floris "No.89" shave cream built with the Paladin PK-47. Three passes with the '56 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with alum, Thayers Cucumber witch hazel, Floris "No.89" aftershave splash and EdT. This cream is very concentrated. Could have used half of what I actually did.

Hope you have a great day. :)
