Tuesday:

Kent BK4
QED Fresh Lime soap

What a great shave! I am really enjoying the Dorcos. First time using a QED soap and wow! The scent alone is worth the price of admission and the lather is just the icing on the cake!

Warmest regards, Niksa

Merkur C38 – Derby Extra blade
D.R. Harris Almond soap
Vulfix 403 brush
Taylor’s Bay Rum aftershave
Clinique M lotion

I tried the C38 today… nice but I think I’ll stick with my Futur. I also used my Vulfix 403, which I usually use as a travel brush but occasionally use at home simply because it looks lonely.
