A wonderful start to my weekend. As close to perfect as a shave can be.

11 March, 2023

My aftershave choice today produced a puzzling, potentially problematic photo phenomenon for today's SOTD pic. Having a clear bottle with dark printing photographed against a blue backdrop renders it practically invisible. So, I had to get creative. Great shave though! Love this soap / splash combination. Fantastic lather from the WCS soap produced with the Zenith boar. Two passes with the 61 "Fatboy" (I can tell the razor's edge is starting to deteriorate) and I finished with the Hâttric Classic AS and a spray of Tom Ford "Beau de Jour".

Hope you have a wonderful day.
