Working through my boar brushes. This one isn't my favorite but it's still nice to use.
Still in the honeymoon phase with this razor. I'm enjoying it a lot.
Fougère Friday: This is an interesting scent. It has a nice fougère base with some clove and charcoal.
Have a good one.
Very good shave. TFIF!

1st pass WTG 2nd pass XTG. Ok shave, a bit of irritation especially on the moustache area. I guess I was maybe too aggressive on the XTG pass, but I am suspicious of the blade being on it's 4th use...
Nice to finally be clean shaven :D
