Another great shave this morning.  The new Grooming Dept Fortis soap base continues to impress.  I find it very easy to whip up into a rich slick lather with a wonderful post shave feel.  I hope everyone has a great Saturday

Wowowow, where did you get that Calani Oriental Plum!?  Is it as wonderful as I’ve heard? I’ve been wanting to try that one since I didn’t have facial hair! I’ll say it, I’m jealous...

I got it on one of the BST's a while back. Traded a very lightly used SV 70th Anniv soap for it. It smell's awesome yes.... The performance is also fantastic. If you can ever find one, pick it up.

At long last after two weeks traveling I’m back home to my shaving rituals.
I’m still getting my bearings with the Rex but today’s shave was excellent.
Today’s star was the Kesar with its high density silvertip.
