▪︎ Gem PTFE
▪︎ London Morning+Seb Man cream

2 pass BBS

Took the opportunity to re-compare the 1924 with the Clog Pruf, switching the same blade back and forth. The CP feels better in the hand because of the longer handle but it cannot beat the '24 on smoothness and efficiency. I doubt that most SEs can (the efforts of @twhite are a definite exception).

The Agua Brava is made by "Antonio Puig"

Great scent. Green, woodsy with a touch freshness. I deeply love it.
