Hello all! Hope you're having a great weekend.
Busy day today so a late post but it started out with a great shave with both a new brush and soap/splash set. The new brush from Riva Brushes, Italy arrived yesterday and it is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship. I love the asymmetrical design. Very organic and just a beautiful brush to simply look at. And the performance was on par with its looks, whipping up a fantastic lather from the Eleven "Lime and Basil" soap. The soap base is fantastic, producing a lather that was thick, rich and very aromatic. A nice combination of tart lime and spicy basil with some light floral notes hovering around in the background as well. Very cushioning with excellent slip. Two passes with the Blackland Era and I finished with the matching splash and a spray of Aramis "Havana".
Hope you have a great evening.
