DFS Day -
razorock Black Mamba + Astra SP

PannaCrema DFS LE Soap - wonderful performance and happy to have the full size tub after having killed the previous sample. Smooth, easy to lather, it has a rich scent with elements of nuttiness [argan oil?]. Home run.

Wolf Whiskers 24mm Envy White Tuxedo

Mickey_Lee Soapworks La Belle du Sud - like its namesake, this soap is a beauty. Not sure of all the scent notes but in addition to peach I pick up notes of tobacco [what?] which is a great complement to the sweetness of the peach, lavender and pistachio. Wonderful scent and performance!

Stellar shave from the Blackbird-Feather combo.  The 1912 is awesome soap and the Simpson is broken in now, feels great and makes plenty of smooth abundant lather. Followed up with some Pitralon Classic and a bit of Mazarin balm. Nice. Have a great day everyone.
