It's a hot day today – and I decided to drive again the Barbarossa. It is really small.
Have a good evening!
I let Djunior choose the soap for this shave and he chose well. Today was the summeriest of spring days and the orange overload felt just right for this.
I can't believe that the lather games start already tomorrow. Oh, oh.

2 passes. Face lather. Good shave.
Nice shave today. I really enjoyed Cedrati which I have not used in a long time. This razor needs honing, though.
