@Tenergy - Beautiful close-in shot, Valeri. Like your framing.

Thanks Ron! I love this cream. It's not a premium one but it has a wonderful "nautical" scent, and fantastic performance. In terms of value for money it's the best. There's some uncertainty about its future though... there are rumors about reformulation at best or discontinuation at worst.

Thanks Ron. They went together surprisingly well, and captured the notes of the soap almost perfectly dead on. Sometimes it pays to experiment, LOL

Thank you, Sir! I certainly very proud of this Mastro Livi razor!

@Eutychus - Sweet line up. I can't remember if I ever asked about your homebrewed AS.

Thanks, Ron. The AS is a combination of witch hazel, a little glycerin, and a fragrance. This time I'm using up some Taxi EdT. It's not bad, but not one I'd repeat. In the past I've used 4711 cologne and I liked it much more.

Razor – Merkur 34C HD
Blade – Astra S/S
Brush - 'Jade' (Rooney Heritage 2XL Jade)
Soap – Mickey Lee – The Drunken Goat
Post - Cold water rinse, Chatillon Lux – Bon Vivant Post Shave Toner

well, after the past few weeks of having stellar shaves, The Drunken Goat proved to be slightly disappointing. Being a little lacking in protection, I was left with some minor irritation... shame..
