Lovely shaves gentlemen.

Mystic Water Pompelmo e Fiori
Proraso Splash

This was the first use of MW Pompelmo e Fiori, and what a fantastic summer scent, it is. It reminds me, very much, of the fragrance, Le Vainqueur by Rancé, which, unfortunately, I finished off last summer. It's a perfect pairing, IMO, which needs to be bought, again. I also feel that this soap could benefit from a little menthol. Nothing much, but a slight cooling would enhance this soap, further. I've sent an email to Michelle, asking if she has considered it. Anyone else have an opinion on this? I'd love to hear the thoughts of those who have already used it.

A rarity for me. I always shave every day but I was so engrossed in restoring this camera that I forgot about it.
So my GEM Open Comb had quite a challenge.  It fully lived up to my expectations.

Mickey and Freddie, two completely different SOTD photos but each just amazing.  Mickey, that camera is absolutely beautiful.  How old is it?  I must show this to my next door neighbor who works with very very old cameras.

Freddie, Mazel Tov! (Congratulations!) on both your anniversary and your two beautiful children.  May your Father's Day prove to be happy and healthy.

The Pony Premo No. 4 Camera was manufactured by the Rochester Optical Company beginning in 1898.

Congratulations and best wishes to you and your bride, Freddie.

I just used the same soap for the first time yesterday and i agree that it's a strong summer scent - not like any other grapefruit I've tried. Now that you mention it, menthol would be a nice addition. I also like your pairing with Proraso Green splash. I think any GIT based splash would also work well.
