Razor: Rockwell Razors 6S Matte Black(R5, R4, and R3)
Blade: Personna Med Prep (3)
Brush: Zenith Boar
AS: Old Spice (US)

I look forward to shaves like this. It brings me back to when I was a kid. My father, grandfather, and uncle used this magic fragrance. It was my first AS and EdC when I was 11. It reminds me of good food, Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years, and every day in between. To me, this is what family love smells like on the male side.
