#sotd #SundayEdition

I am continuing to "Light it up Blue" for #autismawareness

Let's open the books on this shave:
Pre-shave - Hot Shower with Hoffmans Grooming Co Autism Strong
Razor(s) - Above The Tie AL M w/ Voskod blade
Alum Block - Osma
Bowl - Hendrix Classics & Co. . Gun Metal Grey
Brush - Simpsons X2L
Soap/splash - Ariana & Evans Santorini
Cologne - Barrett Fragrances Diakonos

From the Ariana and Evans website: Santorini is our latest aquatic with a hint of Ouzo. It smells amazing with a nighttime vibe. I added lemon, as we all know the Greeks love lemon.
Notes: Maglini Lemon, Osmanthus, Orchid, Cassis, Aquatic & Marine notes, Ozone, Ouzo, Musk, Amber, Myrrh

My thoughts: Santorini is a shave CREAM !! So it lathers a bit differently then a soap or even a croap. Face lathering is the preferred . Once I got the lather right, the scent took over. While never having been to Greece, it took me back to the old days of hanging out in Astoria, Queens going to really awesome Greek restaurants. The lather formed a superbly smooth cushion, making it easy for the ATT AL M to glide effortlessly across my face.
It was a 2 pass (with a little cleanup) Sunday trip on the shave train to BBSTown.

Diakonos paired well to round put the shave.
