Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Excellent if rushed shave this morning. Returned to the Palmolive cream with its great scent and excellent lather built with the Wild West Brushworks synth. Two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Super Speed followed by alum, Gillette aftershave gel, vintage Avon talc & Guy Laroche "Drakkar Noir" EdC.

Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Closing out the month in a humble way, opting to go with some vintage software and hardware. Fantastic lather from the Colgate Cup Soap built with the vintage LJ NYC synth (refurb'd). Three passes with the Feather AC straight (plus slight touch-up around the neck line with the DE) and I finished up with alum, vintage Williams Aqua Velva aftershave lotion and talc.

Hope you have a great day.
