Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Rough night last night. Didn't sleep well. Felt like I was waking up every half hour. So, a sluggish, bleary-eyed start to the day but a great shave and coffee helped. Returned to "P.160" from RazoRock. Great scent & lather built with the Zenith Manchurian badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Mamba 70 and I finished with RazoRock "Blue Barbershop" splash (closest splash scent-wise to original Floid Blue to my nose) and Lalique Pour Homme EdP.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

Rich Man Shaving Brush with an F2 Innovator Knot

At the heart of this fragrance Pepper, Geranium, and Rose intertwine to create an experience that is simply divine. As the scent settles, the base notes arise, Vanilla and Tonka Bean unfold a sweet surprise. Texas Cedar and Sandalwood bring warmth and grace, Patchouli and Oakmoss, add an embracing depth. Together all of these elements combine to create a complete masterpiece!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Went back to Saponificio Varesino and their "Cosmo" soap and ASL. This scent always struck me as ideal for cooler weather. Yes, there is some citrus off the top, but it's intermingled with a warm, slightly sweet & spicy note. All this is playing over a foundation of warm, earthy, woody notes. Wonderful lather built with the Riva Brushes Manchurian badger for two passes (+ touch up) with the Timeless Razor TRBR38 and I finished with the matching ASL & Dior "Sauvage" parfum.

Hope you have a great day. :)
