Brindisi

An absolute burst of citrus on opening, this then settles into a more bitter citrus peel with a herby green mint running through it. It’s superb to be honest.

The Feb challenge continues despite being too sick and busy to shave yesterday. The Schick P-30 may well be the artist club blade to rule them all in The General. Talk about Goldilocks just right. Soooo sharp and soooo smooth. Regretting buying all the Feather Pros now. Weeperless three pass BBS again.

And my menthol love grows with each application of Lemon Chill.

And yes, I see that I'm allowed to change the post software according to the rules of this challenge. But I'm not gonna. Pitralon Classic and Aqva Amara all month!

Can't beat starting with a great shave though - classic.

BBS from this combo today which was doing extra well as my skin is still a tad sensitive from yesterday's over buffing. Maybe Luna's soaps are better suited for DE's for me. The volume of menthol in the soap was a bit higher than what I'm used to and enjoy. I think I dialed in the lathering better so ended up with a better consistency lather.

SV ' Manna di Sicilia' soap / Platyus 26mm / Ever Ready 'Sunray' + SS blade (4) / APR ' Suitably Attired Summer' / ADP 'Fresca' EDP

Nice Monday shave ... SV scent on this Manna di Sicilia is great, and ADP also delivers on a bright Summer morning after a mostly rainy weekend.

Enjoy your shaves guys and your Monday ​

@alfredus - congrats on the anniversary. Great image as well.

So what can I report? I love 6/8" full and extra hollow blades
Very good lather and exceptionally sharp irritation free shave.

If you have never had a straight razor shave, put it on your bucket list.

One and done - till next time.
