Great shave this morning! New soap / splash day with the arrival of "Oud Spice" from Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements. I was a little hesitant in ordering this one as the thought of "Old Spice" combined with agar wood didn't sound like something that would work. But my misgivings were unfounded. Great scent! Shulton-era OS with a hint of smoky, leathery, woody oud which complements it nicely. Excellent lather built with the new Wild West Brushworks "Bisbee" Sweet Spot Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '69 Gillette Super 109, and I finished with the matching AS and Procter & Gamble "Old Spice" EdC.
Today is Tuesday of Holy Week. One of the days ( Either today or Thursday morning) when the Chrism Mass is celebrated. This is the mass where the Sacred Oils that are used throughout the year are blessed.

Great shave this morning! Returned to ETHOS Grooming Essentials and Frank's excellent "Blood Orange" soap & splash set from his Italia Collection. Excellent scent and super thick and slick lather built with the new Paladin "Tigris Perla" 2-Band Select Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Tatara Masamune, and I finished with the matching AS and Rochas "Moustache" EdT.
