Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Fantastic shave today. Went back to "Mélange d'Agrumes" from ETHOS Grooming Essentials. Great lather built with the Riva Brushes Manchurian ST badger brush. Two passes (+ touch-up) with the Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 and I finished with the matching skin food splash and Sean John "Unforgivable" EdC. Great frag. A practically spot-on, budget-friendly dupe of Creed's "Imperial Millesime".

Hope you have a great day.

Shave of the Week (maybe) Starting 10 July 2023

Gem Featherweight razor
Gem Super Stainless blade
AP Shave Co synthetic brush
Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime A/S Tonic

Like the way the Seaforth! SS works but this scent is not my favorite. And I have 2 of them, why did I do that? But I do like the A/S Tonic, it works great and smells a bit different than the SS. First time out with the Featherweight in far to long. It is very light but gave me a fine shave. And new Gem Super Stainless blades are SHARP! All is well though and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Beautiful brush handle.
