Shave:

B&B Standard Onyx
QED Grapefruit & Peppermint Soap
Speick AS

Hair: Pinaud Eau du Portugal & Nancy Boy Styling Gel

1st time with the Speick AS and I'm thinking that I like the scent quite a bit. I passed on an EDT today because the AS seemed to be going strong but faded after an hour. This is fine because sometimes another AS like Aqua Velva will last all day and become somewhat sickening to me.

Back home after a week away from home...nice to leave the hard water! I found it really made quite a difference in slickness during the shave...

Floris #89 edt (decant)

This is my 5th time using the Vergulde Hand soap. I have the cream but have yet to try it.

I like this stuff alot...between the Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet and the Vergulde Hand I have been getting some great shaves and my face feels great.

Haven't worn the Floris #89 in a while so it just seemed like the right day to do so.

Have a great Monday.

Tabac Soap

No cologne (all stuffed up...)

Interesting shave. The IP felt very non-sharp and pulled a touch (new blade), I tried Tabac (again) and the lather sucked as usual, but yet I got a probably an A- shave. Odd.
