SOTD November 2024

8 November, 2024

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to my vintage Crabtree & Evelyn "Mysore Sandalwood" shave soap. Wonderful, warm, spicy resinous scent with incredible lather built with the Simpson "Polo" PL10 Best Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette "Gold Tip" and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by ETHOS Grooming Essentials "Mysore Santal" skin food splash & EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Soap Commander and their excellent "Love" shave soap. Been a while since I last used Soap Commander and I had forgotten what great soaps they were. Wonderfully fresh, true rose scent (along with some green, rose hydrosol notes as well) with incredible lather built with the Paladin "Chief" 2-Band Select Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette "Gold Tip" and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by Czech & Speake "No.88" aftershave splash & EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
