Soap: Penhaligon's English Fern |

Summary: Yowza, what a fine shave that was. From the exquisite, intense scent of English Fern, which is the vintage version, the flawless whisker cutting razor to the grand finale of my favorite Habit Rouge de Guerlain vintage edition. Those are the moments I cherish the most when shaving. When all the stars are aligned and everything just falls into place. |

Enjoy the new week Gents. |
