Great shave this morning. Went with Phoenix Shaving again today, this time with their "Blue Samhain" soap & AS. Great lather and scent. Notes of sandalwood, burnt sugar, bourbon and pumpkin. Three passes with the Black Beauty and I finished with the Star Jelly after shave and a spray of Viktor & Rolf "Spicebomb" EdT. Excellent! 🎃

Hope you have a great day.

Haha, our little cadre in this neck of BN is truly inspiring...Thank you!
I get stunned at the creativity posted here each day... It's not only about the sets, for me, it's the vibe and camaraderie... Serene, free and beautiful!

Wet-shaving is more like 'whet-shaving', for it whets an appetite with meditation along with temptation, haha! Our time alone and taking it all in before that beehive of a day buzzes... Listening to that inner hum is where it's at.

Late post but fantastic shave this morning. Went back to Oz Shaving's "40 Crows". Great scent and lather! Two passes were all that was needed and I finished with a splash of Phoenix Shaving's "Bay Rum & Leather" after shave splash and a spray of YSL "M7 Fresh".

Hope you're having a great evening.

Messy shave….. mixed the A&E soap with the C&E Sweet Almond Oil cream. Amazing lather 😎

Went back to Southern Witchcrafts "Tres Matres". Great lather and scent. Focused on the soap's oakmoss and the earthy, fresh soil terrasol notes with the after shave and frag. Brut Original after shave splash and EdT to finish.

Hope you're having a great day.
