2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Today's shave was a meditation. I was just lost in the feel of the edge and the lather and went on autopilot. A wonderful way to start the day.

I really like this scent and I think the SBS soap is absolutely great, but I admit that I picked it today because I love the label and wanted to see if I could make a photo where the label really popped. An obvious choice would have been a black background, but that would be too easy.

Edit: Oh, I forgot den pics. I started in a linen closet, but my collection has started to take over a bookshelf. Here you go.
