Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave to this morning. Returned to Taylor of Old Bond Street and their excellent "Lime Zest" shave cream. Great scent and excellent lather built with the Paladin "Juma Mamba" 2-Band Select badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the Timeless TRBR38, and I finished with ETHOS Grooming Essentials "Lime EO" Personal Blend skin food splash & "Colonia" EdP.

Hope you've had a great day.

Spearhead Seaforth! Fleur de France soap and aftershave; Gold Dollar 300 straight; battle worn Semogue 1305



Unfortunately, the soap just does not do a very good job of softening the beard, even after a shower.   Someday I will be finished with it!
