30 November, 2024

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

A late but great shave today. Returned to Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements and their excellent seasonal release, "Space Nog" shave soap and splash. Great scent mash-up between spicy bay rum plus eggnog. Doesn't sound like the two would work, but they pull it off beautifully. Incredible lather built with the Simpson "Chubby" 2 Super Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '49 Gillette Milord and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by the matching aftershave splash.

Hope you have a great day. :)
