SOTD MAY 2025

14 May, 2025

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave this morning. Returned to Phoenix Shaving and their excellent homage to Crabtree & Evelyn for Men, "Crabapple & Newton" shave soap and splash. This is a very good dupe of the original with wonderful lather built with the Wild West Brushworks badger brush for three passes with the '58 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with alum, Quinn's Pink Grapefruit and Orange Rind witch hazel and the matching aftershave cologne.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Wonderful shave this morning! Returned to the vintage Renleigh shave soap for today's whicker whacking duty. Wonderful lather built with the Sorrentino Brushworks synth for three passes with the '69 Gillette Super 109 and I finished with alum, Quinn's Pink Grapefruit and Orange Rind witch hazel, vintage Avon Bay Rum aftershave splash and Murray & Lanman Peruvian Florida Water.

Hope you have a great day. :)
