7 April, 2024

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to ETHOS Grooming Essentials and Frank's excellent "Nuage De Citron" shave soap. Wonderful scent and excellent lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "Kokopelli" Sweet Spot badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the pre-war Gillette Tech and I finished with the matching skin food splash & Alvarez Gomez "Agua de Colonia Concentrada" EdC.

Hope you've had a great day.

Pre ...... CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Bar
Brush .... Elite Arizona Jade (26mm)
Soap ..... ETHOS Tortola (F Base)
Razor .... Karve Overlander (Aluminum)
Blade .... Wizamet Iridium Super
Post ..... ETHOS Tortola SFS
Finish ... ETHOS Succès EDP

The Overlander shined again on this shave's lighter beard.  I give it five out of five stars, and labeling it a "keeper" would be a no-brainer for me if it weren't a loaner.  The Tortola was just as pleasant.  The scent opens up nicely when wet, and the lather is top notch.  Lastly, there are places I remember, and OTBE I like soaps that take me there.  For Tortola, the places are warm sunny beaches with pretty women and drinks that include rum and pineapple.  The pineapple forward Succès fit in very well with that.
