Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Great shave this morning. Returned to Martin De Candre and their excellent "Rose" shave soap. Wonderful scent with superb lather created with the Paladin Brushes "PK-47" Select 2-Band Badger Brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '67 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by Czech & Speake "No.88" aftershave lotion & EdC.

Hope you have a great day.
