Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Geo. F. Trumper and their incredible "Spanish Leather" line. One of my favorite scents with notes of leather, rose, geranium, patchouli and musk. Excellent lather built with the Riva Brushes Manchurian badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the RazoRock Game Changer and I finished with the matching skin food and cologne.

Hope you have a great day. :)

@BarberDave my M&F, scored it in a trade for a NOS Geo Wostenholm, 5-6 years ago. It’s small, but mighty! The blonde badger on this one is exceptional!

C. V. Heljestrand MK31, Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger, Pannacrema Nuavia Nero Soap and aftershave balm.

This scent is perfect for a cold autumn morning. Simply excellent shave in all respects. I wish all of you, my brothers a wonderful day and best wishes,!

My favorite soap & matching splash. Top quality lather and aromatic cigarish scent.
Was running late so chose this easy-peasy AC Razor, except...the blade was on the blunt side. HAH...meaning at the end of the shave nothing was removed...complete idiot! One of those mornings...at least I enjoyed the lather and splash!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

A great "Tabac Tuesday" shave this morning. Wonderful scent and excellent lather built with the Riva Brushes ST badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the '69 Gillette Super-109 and I finished with the matching after shave lotion.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

SOTD - 10/24/2023 - All items from Portugal

WestMan Rastilho
Semogue Owners Club Boar
MASAMUNE NODACHI from Tatara Razors - (On loan from the Shave Dad Facebook Group - Thanks Jerry!)

YouTube review highlighting the razor will be posted later today.

FROM THE WESTMAN WEBSITE:
Pomegranate, Leather, Pink Pepper, Firewood accord, Incense, Myrrh, Plum, Birch tar

A bold and daring fragrance born from a sentimental and experimental endeavour. Rastilho creates an experience that embodies autumn and winter, braving the cold while indulging in the warmth of fireside moments.

First, a burst of Pomegranate and Plum whose wine-like sweetness blends with the sharp allure of Pink Pepper. This combination is like a spark that ignites the senses and sets the stage for the journey ahead.

An intriguing blend is revealed as the fragrance unfolds. A profound Leather base merges with a distinct note of Birch Tar and the Firewood accord, evoking a sense of rugged adventure. All the while, undertones of Incense and Myrrh add a layer of complexity.

Rastilho defies the norm. It's an attention-grabbing composition crafted to leave an indelible mark. It invites you on a unique olfactory journey that can trigger different reactions – love, hate, or a combination of both – but never indifference.34B0281A-6BC8-4C65-B233-1F3CAD955FD0.jpeg
