A second rainy day in AZ. Yesterday we got more rain in one day than we get in a year!

Back to the Feather/Feather combo for the 11th shave. Today’s brush is the Uomo da Vinci 293 Silvertip. This brush may not be the best-looking brush, but it sure does perform. Makes excellent lather and feels great on my face. A nice BBS shave. Have a good day, gents.
