Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Castle Forbes and their excellent "Lime Essential Oil" shave cream. Fantastic true-lime scent with wonderful lather built with the MisticBrush synth for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette "Gold Tip" and I finished with alum, Quinn's Pink Grapefruit and Orange Rind witch hazel, ETHOS Grooming Essentials Custom Lime EO skin food splash and Taylor of Old Bond Street "No.74 Victorian Lime" EdC.

Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. New soap day with the arrival yesterday of "El Cantinero" soap and splash from Zingari Man. Fantastic tropical, cocktail-type scent with heavy notes of grapefruit along with boozy tequila and lime. Wonderfully thick and slick lather built with the Wild West Brushworks synth for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Timeless TRBR38 and I finished with alum, the matching aftershave serum and Creed "Virgin Island Water" EdP.

Hope you have a great day.
