postscripts...the AK white moss shave cream was nice, but not nearly as unique as AK almond 1869. Very muted, perhaps similar to Proraso white, IMO.
However, the AK moss aftershave and the Musgo moss colognes were excellent!!

Great pic as always! What's the knot like on the beehive. It's a good looking brush.

thx Chris!
Rudy's brushes are great. This one is a badger, I think two band, really dense. Soft tips, but the density and his method of burying the knot make for enough stiffness in face lathering.
 
A coupe of exceptional classy shots!

The All Blacks from Shm: a dressy picture? Just a hint of white to enhance the "darkness"!
Contrappunto to Sarimento virginal set up! A drop pf black and gold to underline the light explosion!

I am ashamed of my English which does not allow me to express what I want.
And of my shots!
(I hate you two!) :angry:
