Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Phenomenal shave this morning. Returned to ETHOS Grooming Essentials and their wonderful "Nuage de Citron" soap and splash. Bright and tart lemon scent with excellent lather built with the Aylsworth synth for three passes with the '57 Gillette Red Tip and I finished with alum, Quinn's Pink Grapefruit and Orange Rind witch hazel, the matching splash and Acqua di Parma "Colonia" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
