NOICE!

Ravello (Ethos) figgy citrus
Shave 4

TommyCarioca, here’s a nice figgy soap with some bitter woody undertones. It’s fruity but not too sweet. Nothing sticky about it. Goes down well in the warm weather.

I've taken to using Frank's revitalizing serum as a preshave. I rub it on about an hour before the scraping starts. A lot soaks in, but what's left on the surface of my skin adds to the protection.

Ravello is an AMAZING fig forward scent!!  It became my #1 soap and fragrance for the hot Vegas summer.  It is a must try for anybody looking for a fresh fig scent.

Went with another favorite today

The old Valobra Art of Shaving Sandalwood is still a favorite and today made me smile.  Big toothy grin for a long time.  The tin had the death wobbles with that hole in it but its a big tin and will last.  

That brush is just outstanding. Would be interesting to see it in a SOTD post with ancient vintage stuff. Maybe one of those crazy Wilkinson Sword Rube Goldberg razors that Whiterook and Dave in KY (?) have, a mug of Williams in an apothecary mug, some lace curtains, etc.

As summer winds down, I'm going to shave with lemon this week. I have about 5 to 7 favorite lemon pucks.

See y'all tomorrow
