Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. My order of ETHOS Grooming Essentials "Nuage De Citron" arrived and first use was today. Nice, bright, uplifting citrus scent & fantastic lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Belfour" ST badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the '69 Gillette Super-109 and I finished with the matching splash and Alexandria Fragrances "Golden Rush" EdP (dupe of Amouage "Jubilation XXV").

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

This is a marvelous soap and used only for Oct. Super rich, creamy & slick lather whip-up by the excellent brush. The splash is just awesome! Missed using a straight razor for 2 weeks and this shave was sooo satisfying! The razor, refreshed on HBA and stropped on the roo leather performs much better. Smoother and a keener edge. Enjoyed 3passes for a bbs-dfs finish...
