The he color balance is weird in this photograph. I believe that the lighting was uneven enough to cause that.

Martin de Candre soap
Vie Long El Toro Ganso brush
ATT R-something razor
Captains Choice Bay Rum AS (left on for 10 minutes before rinsing, as it's not a great warm weather scent)
Uppercut Pomade
GFT edt

Some notes: The ATT razor is very nice, but it gives me irritation too easily. I may see if I can try one of the M base plates at some point. The Vie-Long brush is one that I've had for years but don't use that often. It's pillowy soft, which is not a quality I really want in a brush. It's still nice to have a cloud-soft brush every once in a while, though.

* That is a very nice photo and some lovely colours! By the way, I think that is the ATT R1 head you have there with the Atlas handle.
 
Thank you Celestino!! This violet themed shave really came together and the scent on both the trumpers and the myrsol is amazing. Have you tried the trumpers soaps???

* I have tried them, Chris, but I just find all of the commercial soaps too heavily scented and too many synthetic ingredients for me. I have been using only artisan soaps since I first began this journey 3 years, ago. I try to keep things as simple and natural as I can with everything including shaving! Well, ingredients-wise; brushes handles are another story! :lol:
