A nice shave

As a Brush Connoisseur, I will say that is a lovely brush Marko!

Thanks Hector, I have to say that I am impressed with that brush - its one of the Fendrihan.com/.ca house brand brushes and I got it for CDN$60. including a nice metal stand. (They've since raised the price to $74((US$51)) but still a good deal). I thought I'd pick up a cheap silvertip brush and didn't expect it to be as nice as it is. I know that Fendrihan has some of their house brushes made by Thater, not sure if this one is but I have a Thater brush and apart from the Thater being bigger it would be hard to tell them apart. Both perform equally well.

Superb shave today in all respects. PAA Ice is a better prep than most, and it provides a nice cool start over which the Lather Monster built thick slick goodness from Rhapsody. Der Futur almost went unnoticed as it went about its grim task. B&M Awesome finished off this shave right.

Hi tdmsu what is that aftershave?  I've never heard of Barrister & Mann Awesome aftershave.  It either pre-dates my discovery of B&M a few years back or I was asleep at the switch.  What does it smell like?
Thanks
Mark
