  • Brush: AP Shave Co. - 24mm Synbad Fan
  • Razor: Timeless .68 SS Scalloped
  • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (4)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Piacenza - Soap
  • Post Shave: Australian Private Reserve - Raconteur - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Jitterbug - EdP

Wow, Piacenza is quite nice. I've never smelled the real thing (Acqua Di Parma Colonia), but I can see why people like it. It has a nice sophistication to it.

I used Raconteur soap the other day but forgot to use the matching aftershave, so this makes up for it.

Until I tried Bleu Man (poorly named Deep Blue Sea), Piacenza was my favorite Stirling soap.

LOL. I'll have to try a sample of that
