  • Brush: Maggard 24mm 2 Band Badger
  • Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
  • Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (2)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Piacenza - Soap
  • Post Shave: Florida Water - Cologne
  • Post Shave: Eufros - Dama Noche - Balm

I really like this knot. Overall this was a great shave. I'm starting to pick up a little bit of "Executive Man" in "Piacenza", but I think it's just the citrus in it that might be similar. I definitely like Piacenza better overall. To keep the citrus going, I went with Florida Water as an aftershave. Florida Water is an EdC, so using it as an aftershave requires me to add water, unless I want my face to turn red with alcohol burn. I do this by getting my face good and wet before applying it.

Piacenza++;

I have not tried Acqua Di Parma Colonia but Piacenza always makes me want to.
