Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another phenomenal shave this morning, returning to my vintage Renleigh shave soap. No scent but superb lather built with the Sorrentino synth for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with alum, Quinn's Pink Grapefruit and Orange Rind witch hazel and Muelhens 4711 splash and cologne.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Another phenomenal shave this morning. Returned to ETHOS Grooming Essentials and Frank's excellent "Shave MD" soap and splash. Fantastic citrus soda scent with wonderful lather built with the Paladin Somerset badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with alum, Quinn's Pink Grapefruit and Orange Rind witch hazel, the matching skin food splash and Dior "Eau Sauvage" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)
