Floris Elite aftershave (vintage)

This is one of the great creams. And I believe the aftershave eventually was reformulated: I tried the modern version some years back when first getting back into wet shaving and found it to be harsh and metallic, but this vintage one is quite nice, complex and mellow.

Today's change to my usual SOTD was my soap, CRSW Morning Ghost.

Today's SOTD change from the routine was the soap. It was one of Tim's hand crafted custom soaps for which I am truly grateful. Thanks Tim!
