Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Fine Accoutrements and their excellent "Lavender Pour Homme" shave soap & AS. Fantastically fresh, herbaceous scent with incredible lather (original version triple-milled soap puck) built with the Paladin "Chief" 2-Band Select Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '61 Gillette Fatboy and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by the matching aftershave splash & Czech & Speake "Oxford & Cambridge" EdC.

Hope you have a great day. :)
