SOTD 29 July-4 August 2018

A shave friend sent me a bottle of Mennen Skin Bracer, since it's no longer commonly available here and I've never tired it before.
Well, that's as classic as it gets. Face feel is really good too. Though I do think I'm still more of an Aqua Velva, Spanish AS kind of guy.

Summer goal is to finish off this tub of T+S IPA, were getting close. One thing I notice with T+S is it gets better with age, seems to round off the rough edges on the scent profiles. This is definitely true of the IPA.

Brush: same old APShaveCo SynBad.
Razor and Blade: 1952 Super Speed with Nacet. Nacets and Polsilvers seen to really work well with the vintage Gillettes for me.

OMG!! I'm really enjoying the Ariana & Evans soap called the Socal Hipster, a very beautiful soft fruity scent of pineapple, banana, passion fruit and mango, this soap is making me so hungry for me to eat it so bad. I can also smell a soft background scent of sandalwood, cedarwood and musk, however, the fruity scent stands out a lot more than the background scent. Overall I really bloody enjoy this soap.
