***EDIT - 2 pass + minor clean up. Mostly BBS. I got a minor cut that bled a few drops. My Pinaud Styptic Pencil sealed that up neatly. I'm beginning to think I will order an Alum Block. I know, I know "how can you have wet shaved and posted here for 3 years and not have bought an Alum Block yet?".....well, I have gotten such great shaves that I just didn't think it would be a necessary tool. However, I do get that shave every now and then that could use a wipe down of Alum to seal the skin up tight. I like the effect it gives on shaves where I've taken things too far and need to recover the skin in time for the next shave. Alum helps that happen.

The scent of Selection Verte is super refreshing citrus and black pepper. A great summer scent for a Saturday where I'll be out and about shopping.

 

lovely set up sir..
