Post-shave; My Concoction, No 2; Sauvecito Bay Rum 100mls, Witch Hazel 100mls, Moroccan Argan Oil 25mls, Bay Laurel Essential Oil 12.5mls, Vit E 5mls, Natural Plant Glycerine 2.5mls and 1.25ml of Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (Thoroughly mixed together) aftershave/moisturiser splash!! ‘’Superb’’
Cologne/EDP;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);
Shave; 3rd run with the new brush, again early but I know this knot will probably become my favourite and along with the handle design there will be a ‘’culling’’ of the rotation. Lovely 2 pass n touch up shave, so smooth with the La Falux, (smoothest razor to date for me) and the ++ plate is really efficient YMMV. Finished with the ‘’dual’’ splash/moisturiser. Superb.

Roman Kamlash “Sabre” 9/8 Half Hollow - Zenith Unbleached Boar - Lodrino Spring Water - Speick Splash - Sukin Moisturiser
First shave with @Lodrino's Spring Water. Base is superb. Scent profile is sweet citrus. bright green foliage and lavender or violets, with a woody, amber and patchouli base. It reminds me a lot of Green Irish Tweed. No idea if Francesco intended that, but that is where it lands for me.
