Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Very nice but bleary-eyed shave this morning. Got a little too aggressive on the left side of my face and now have a small area of razor burn beside my cheek bone. Oh well.. Lesson learned. Went back to Abbate Y La Mantia and their wonderful "Neroli Siciliano" shave soap. Nice citrus, floral scent with a little hint of woods way in the back. Excellent lather built with the Zenith "Chubby Scrubby" boar brush for two passes (+ touch-up) with the RazoRock "Mamba 70" and I finished with Acqua di Parma Colonia" after shave splash "Essenza" EdC.

Hope you have a great day.
