Lovely setup and pic. At first I thought the blade pack was superimposed as it pops too much. Guess you applied the right filter.
Now the Mouse de Saxe is lovely and very special, we are very lucky to have it! Great to see it out in the wild :cool:

New month new soap.
Welcome APRil Fools!
Great shave with first time using the Fougere Trois soap. It has been a long time since APR has been used and it didn’t disappoint. Lovely scent profile that went well with the FBR aftershave.
Karve with the C provided the closeness I desire and I still love how this razor leaves no neck irritation in a troublesome spot or two that all my other razors tend to do.

Happy Monday all....

Having not been around since the dawn of inception of APR, are the labels on the bottles the "original" designs? I understand APR to be 3 years along, yet these labels appear to be from the 50's.
Edit: in a good way...

Those are the first ever editions from the first release of APR (General Ledger is a nickname for Mark as he is so particular with accounting). If you check the 'Artisan' forum you will find the debut thread and the first release of scents way back when.

What I found strange is not the labels, but the fact Mark has 2 brushes in his sotd pic.....
