Great shave this morning. Returned to CBL Soaps and Chris' excellent "Hombres Barber Shop" shave soap & tonic. Incredible scent and lather built with the Paladin "Somerset" 2-Band Select 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 the matching aftershave tonic and vintage Avon "Black Suede" EdC
Another shave on the road.

Great shave this morning. New soap day with the arrival of "Opulence Harbinger" shave soap & splash from Hendrix Classics & Co. This is one of the most strongly scented soaps / splashes that I've ever encountered. The splash is easily cologne strength, probably closer to EdT strength. Definitely a rager! Not sure what the individual scent notes are, but on the whole it reminds me a lot of "L'Homme" from Yves Saint Laurent. Great lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Reload" 2-Band Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '49 Gillette Executive and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by the matching aftershave splash.
