A fine Thanksgiving shave. The summertime fragrances seduced me again, and I chose Honeysuckle shaving soap by Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements this morning. For whatever reason, this soap has been really excellent: the lather is thick and creamy (and smells great) and it leaves my skin feeling particularly soft and cared for.
The brush is one by Brent’s Brushes. Mine has an ebony handle and a very soft and fluffy knot that works up lather well, holds a lot, and feels like a caress on my skin.
The Eros slant is very like the iKon 102 in its approach—blade slanted and not twisted—and its feel—extremely comfortable and nick-averse—and its performance—highly efficient. Three pleasant passes and my face was left perfectly smooth and unharmed.
A splash of Floris No. 89 EDT as an aftershave, and the Day of Gratitude is launched.
