    Friday's Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Vintage Life Licorice Shave Soap
    Olivewood Silvertip
    Probak OC Razor
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Aqua Velva Musk AS

    The Vintage Life Licorice Shave Soap face-lathered well with Olivewood Silvertip Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Probak OC Razor with a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    I bought myself a mask that seems to offer more protection: now I look like Donald Duck with a crooked beak!
    I hope that it doesn't affect my sex appeal!

    I got a soap that I used many years ago, but of which I don't remember anything, not even the taste that I chose.
    But in those days I didn't even know vetiver.
    Declaration, this one, rather risky for a fragrance that is declined in many different ways and I, so far, only appreciate two only in a couple of EdTs I have.
    All the other ones I smelled do not suit me at all...

    The soap has retained its scent which, however, I feel rather sweet: too bad!
    I would like to re-fragrance it, but I don't have the slightest idea which EO to choose.

    But it is a mild fragrance, perhaps for age reasons.
    Performance wise, it hasn’t altered my biorhythms, but I must, of course, try it again.

    I made up for fragrance i like with AS and EtD.

    I imagine that the most attentive of you have noticed the stylistic evolution of my photo: today, the razor rests on the soap bowl and not on the inner sill: I have to accurately the stylistic impact...

    Nice setup Clint. I had my NEW SC replated in bright nickel years ago. It is a favorite razor. Nice brush.
