On the road and wanted an easy and mild shave. The Gillette A’crat Jr from a #58 set is the exact ticket. What an excellent shaver and quite the looker. This particular one is a near mint cased example. Love the red leatherette case it comes in and knurling pattern makes it unique. Loaded up with a Gillette Wilkinson Sword it is just fantastic.

Sumer time = Summer scent and the Italian Barber Amici is a wonderful bright citrus scent. Great soap and quite affordable. AP Shave Co. Silk Smoke with the blue lagoon handle is just about the softest feeling synth I own but it has just the right amount of backbone to it. Great brush!

Lathered up and got through just about one of the best three pass BBS shaves I have had in a long, long time. Stars were in alignment this morning for sure.

The weekend! Finally! Enjoy the sun, the family and friends and the shaves!
