• Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - Discordia - Soap
• Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. - Discordia - Aftershave
• Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner

Quick shave this morning before a busy day today. The Streamline is giving me decent shaves, but it feels a little harsh still. I'm withholding judgement until the blade is a bit more broken in.

Have a great Saturday, y'all.

Just phenomenal two pass shave. CGC makes such good stuff.

Awesome, kangaroo tallow soap for all!

Too true...

Getting really close to a tub kill on GTB, I should definitely be able to get it done in November.

Wife requested Arance Mandarini this morning. How could I say no to that?

I haven't used Pine Tar in quite some time. It's good soap!

The Rambler seems to be a less popular ZM scent around here, which I think is unfortunate. It's perfect for a chilly, rainy morning.

Have a great day!

I've been preferring cold water shaves recently. I find it's kinder to my skin, for whatever reason.

God damn, this scent is great. Excellent two pass shave, no nicks or irritation.

It's always a nice shave with DBS!
