22 November, 2024

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Best shave of the week this morning. Returned to Soap Commander (a local company) and their excellent "Thanksliving" LE shave soap. Warm, spicy, fruity scent with notes of apple, orange and clove along with super thick and cushioning lather built with the Zenith B33 Boar brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by vintage MEM Co. English Leather "Spiced" aftershave splash & Amouage "Jubilation XXV" EdP. Was great using the Zenith boar again. It had been a while and I'd forgotten what great brushes they are.

Hope you have a great day.
