Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave to this morning. Returned to Taylor of old Bond Street and their excellent "Lime Zest" shave cream. Excellent scent with super-slick lather built with the Paladin "Juma Mamba" 2-Band Select badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette Super Speed, and I finished with vintage Avon "Island Lime" after shave lotion and Acqua di Parma "Colonia Essenza" EdC.

Hope you've had a great day. :)

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Best shave of the week (thus far) this morning. Returned to Wholly Kaw and their excellent "Fougère Bouquet" shave soap. Excellent spicy-green scent with floral notes. Extremely slick lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Mint Chip" HD ST badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '58 Gillette TV Special Super Speed, and I finished with Brut "Original" after shave Splash and Houbigant "Fougère Royale" EdP.

Hope you've had a great day. :)
