Have my personal fav lined up: Noble Otter, a matching soap and aftershave, Neon Sun.
Just conditioned the old workhorse of a brush, my lovely Wite's Conqueror straight razor is in perfect shape, and just bought some fresh l'oreal face cream to finish the morning off.
I love Noble Otter.

Nice! Never heard of these. Would you have a photo?

Close, comfortable shave. This sheep tallow base is great.

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Very pleasant morning shave with Cheshire. I had my tea before my coffee today.

I've done this shave before we had a staff meeting at my workplace. Boring, tedious stuff but at least I smelt good. Just did the dome as the weather hasn't been kind to my face lately and I want to try with the MMOC tomorrow. At least if there're no other negative factors coming up.
My tub of this nice smokey blueberry scent still says "Mood Indigo", so it was before any legal trouble with another brand. Names aren't as important as a good smelling product with a great performance though, and this is definitely given here. Don't let the blueberry fool you, this isn't a gourmand. It's a really great blend of different scents in a solid soap base. Anyway, have a nice Monday!

Great shave. The Watchman worked better with this soap and frag than expected. Neat!

Nice and close! Last shave at home until the plumbers finish later this week.
I like Ramblin' Man. It seems congruent to Executive Man with a fougere base to it. Floïd has a bit of menthol to it. Glacial Unscented has a lot. So, this morning I had an unplanned blizzard on my face. TIL :)
Have a great day!

Second Luxury Shave. I decided to spend the evening with Marilyn.
Your blutt or a loaner?
It's mine. I've had it for 3 years. Such an elegant razor. As you may have guessed, I'm using BBS November to go through my safety razor collection :)

Forgot to post this yesterday – my bad. I'm still trying to explore what Tabac AS doesn't fit with. Both Narcisse and Tabac are floral, but there is not much lingering of the scent anymore once the after shave has been applied.
