Rooney 2/1 Faux Horn Finest (22/52)
Ethos Grooming Lavender Supreme shaving soap
Wolfman WR2-SB/WRH7 Antique Bronze
Personna 74 Tungsten (18)
Ethos Grooming Lavender Supreme aftershave

This was my first use of the antique bronze Wolfman. Its 1.25mm gap felt a bit rougher than my 0.95mm SS one, but I think I'll get used to it.

Wonderful quality soap! Lovely refreshing scent and cold...nicely matched with the splash...
How could I have forgotten this excellent razor for 2.5 months...dang! Today's shave with it was very pleasurable...the bellied edge so soft and comfy. 3passes for a ccs-sas finish without any issues...

Good morning Cadre! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another Fall-like morning. Upper 50's as I left the house but today's the last one until the next cold front comes through. Humidity returns with temps in the high 80's.

Another great shave this morning. Went back to some old school Colgate cup soap. Remarkably slick and cushioning lather. No scent left but lather quality more than makes up for it. Three passes with the Tech for a DFS++ result and I finished with a splash of Imperial Leather № 1 Aftershave Lotion (+ skin food) and a spray of Mont Blanc "Presence" EdT.

Hope you have a wonderful day. :)
