Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to ETHOS Grooming Essentials and Frank's excellent "Tortola" soap & splash. Wonderful fruity, tropical Bay Rum scent and incredible lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Bisbee" Sweet Spot Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Gillette British No.58 and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by the matching skin food splash & Hemingway Accoutrements "Nature Isle" EdP.

Hope you have a great day. :)

ETHOS / WWBW / Gillette / Wizamet / Quinn's / Hemingway Accoutrements
