Proraso M&E after shave
A belting shave with the ‘Schick Buster' this evening. The Injectors, for me, are smooth, efficient razors that I can whip round my chops (with due care) in relatively quick time.
Nice lather from the Bothy, campfire and vetiver.

Scent: Farina Original 1709 EdC
A sumptuous shave - the Gillette Spoiler really does pair well with the Wolfman. Three passes for a DFS+.
My first shave with the P&B Pall Mall soap. I must thank those esteemed gentlemen @Barry Giddens and @Boru62 for this recommendation. You were spot on, lads. Typical for the P&B brand, the soap was very easy to lather and provided excellent performance. I really like the scent - it immediately reminded me of two other soaps in my den, they being Cold River Soap Works Glide Barbiere Sapone and Declaration Grooming Colonia Balsamica. I pulled these soaps out after the shave and did a side-by-side sniff test. Whilst all have similar dominant citrus notes, the distinguishing feature of Pall Mall is a balancing earthiness, similar to Spitfire but much subtler.
The classic and original Kölnisch Wasser, produced by the good folk at Farina since 1709, was a lovely match for the Pall Mall soap scent.
