An excellent lavender shave on probably the last really warm day here for the year.

There’s something about rain in the cooler weather.  The scent on the “Echoes of Rain” collab between Tallow and Steel and Maol Grooming really seems to capture that experience.  A quick head shave turned into a face shave that I talked myself into.  Have a great Thursday everyone!

Green shave today!  Like the Hawk, but miss my Vector! 

Enjoy your shaves,

Jeff
