Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Excellent shave this morning! I've had this soap / splash set for a while but was waiting for cooler weather to break it out. Great scent! Very deep, very rich with notes of oud, sandalwood, vanilla, & rum. Incredibly slick lather built with the Simpson "Chubby" 2 Super Badger brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the Mamba 70 and I finished with the matching splash & ALT. Fragrances "Saxophone" EdP (very good dupe of "Jazz Club").

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)

Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to rub together enough pennies to afford a CHUBBY 2! Great looking Shave @MarkB :love:

Razor J. R. Torrey 5/8
Good lather from the soap whip-up nicely by the excellent brush. The splash is just fantastic!
This razor was refreshed on the HBA. The edge feels soft, silky smooth, and yet very keen. It is nice to experience some natural vs diamond balsa edge...

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. New soap day with the Antica Barberia "Original Talc" croap. Nice, light Italian barbershop / talc scent, but it was the lather that blew me away! Very slick, very thick and very cushioning. Quality wise, the lather reminded me of Saponificio Varesino. Two passes (+ touch-up) with the '69 Gillette Super-109 and I finished with Paul Sebastian after shave splash & EdC.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)
