First day of spring break...slept in a little...went for the straight and had a decent shave with the Crown & Sword. Finished with the 444 and the classic Acqua di Selva (still my vote for the best inexpensive fragrance in my limited experience). Oh and by the way, a proud father wants to show off a little:

No pic today, sorry, Razor PUMA Special Iros Keen. / Brush EDJ / Cream SPEICK / ASB SPEICK
I face lathered today in a rush, came out very creamy and smooth, Speick actually face lathers better then in the bowl, comes out creamier and the scent of lavender and the Speick plant seems more pronounced. Perfect for a Spring Day, followed by some nice Pinkus Hefe Weizen Organic beer.
Cheers
