I have turned over a new leaf in my shaving regime starting today. I will be using the same soap for an entire week. Until now I have never used a soap more than 2 days in a row......at least not since I had more than 2 soaps to choose from. I wasn't sure which picture to post so I didn't bother deciding. Soon the Proraso will be the only sign of green in the trees as the leaves begin to change. Autumn is a wonderful and beautiful time of year on the east coast and I will be snapping pics amongst the ever changing landscape for the next couple months(hopefully). The shave was wonderful. Second go with the OC and it was a DFS. I am not %100 sold on the Proraso Green yet....hoepfully a week of using it will make up my mind.
