Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a great weekend.

Great shave today! When I heard that Phoenix Shaving was coming out with a shave soap paying homage to Skin Bracer, I new I'd have to get some. Identical to the splash! Great lather as well. Three passes and I finished with a splash of Skin Bracer and a spray of Davidoff "Zino". Great start to the week!.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

Missed using this excellent & very affordable soap! It is easy to lather and produces a rich & super slick lather with a nice light lime scent...awesome!!
A good shave session with this razor paired with the still good blade. Easy, smooth, and efficient enough in 3passes for a mostly bbs finish without any issues. The aftershaves were good...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantabulous shave this morning! Broke out Frank's newest from his Italia Collection, Blood Orange. This soap smells delicious with a juicy, sweet orange that completely envelops you when face lathering (if you don't face lather, you're missing out). Three passes and I finished with a splash of the "Clean" skin food splash with a couple of drops of orange EO added and a spray of YSL M7 Fresh for a nice "barbershopy" finish.

Hope you have a great day. :)

RazoRock R-160 Sweet Almond aftershave balm

The slightly old Rooney made wonderful lather with the cream. The new Carbon razor is even smoother than the Adamas, almost rivaling the smoothness of my Paradigm 17-4. And the shave was finished with the great discontinued balm, leaving my face BBS.
