Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Taylor of Old Bond Street and their excellent "Oud" shave cream. Warm, spicy, resinous oud scent with saffron notes and rose. Perfect on a cool day like today. Exceptional lather as always from TOBS, built with the Saponificio Varesino 2.0 Manchurian Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '49 Gillette Aristocrat 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.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Best shave of the week this morning. Returned to Soap Commander (a local company) and their excellent "Thanksliving" LE shave soap. Warm, spicy, fruity scent with notes of apple, orange and clove along with super thick and cushioning lather built with the Zenith B33 Boar 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 vintage MEM Co. English Leather "Spiced" aftershave splash & Amouage "Jubilation XXV" EdP. Was great using the Zenith boar again. It had been a while and I'd forgotten what great brushes they are.

Hope you have a great day.
