Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Skipped both Sunday and Monday so today's shave with extra nice. Returned to Saponificio Varesino and their excellent "Felce Aromatica" shave soap & ASL. Fantastic scent with incredible lather built with the SV 2.0 Manchurian Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by the matching aftershave lotion & Giorgio Beverly Hills "Giorgio for Men" EdT.

Hope you have a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Cooper & French and their excellent "Old Goat" shave soap & ASL. Fantastic Old School scent with incredible lather built with the Simpson "Chubby" 2 Manchurian Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '67 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by vintage Avon "Spicy" aftershave splash & "Brisk Spice" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
