Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning! Returned to Phoenix Shaving and their Yardley Black Label (and Dr. Who) homage, "The Watcher". Wonderful scent with Incredible lather built with the Wild West Brushworks synth. Two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette "Gold Tip" and I finished with alum, Thayers Cucumber witch hazel, the matching aftershave lotion & vintage Pierre Cardin "Pierre Cardin Pour Monsieur" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning! New soap day with the Zingari Man "Bon Monsieur" soap and aftershave milk made in collaboration with Rogue Perfumery. As you'd expect, the scent is spot on with Incredible lather built with the Phoenix Shaving synth for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '67 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with alum, the matching aftershave milk & Rogue Perfumery "Bon Monsieur" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)
