Share your shave of the day!

Between this tub and Cologne Russe, I should have a couple of tub kills in the coming days/weeks.
Apr 4, 2024 - Rose Eclipsed by Fig
I’m reserving my eclipse-themed shave for the actual day of the eclipse, and today’s selections were nothing short of fantastic.

Did you get the soap as well?
I bought both on a whim, but I’m glad I did.
When I saw this Echt Kölnisch Wasser N° 4711 aftershave, I was reminded that a while back, u/USS-SpongeBob made his own 𝕊ℍ𝔸𝕍𝔼⭐𝔻𝔸ℕ𝔻𝕐 4711 Homebrew Aftershave a while back by cutting Cologne with some skin food ingredients. I doubt that my splash is as good for the skin as his, but it has that nice Kölnisch Wasser scent that lasts about 27 seconds. It definitely passes as a light scent (together with Sundrunk) for today’s Theme Thursday theme, and Eclipse is the aptly named dark scent.
Effortless BBS with the titanium R41 (that thing is underrated), and silky smooth finish with Korotalco.

After you become accustomed to using talc, a shave’s finish feels wrong without it.
I’m not quite there yet, but I agree it’s an extra level of nice 🙂
I saw @sahenders@sub.wetshaving.social Figarose SOTD today and it reminded me that I had been neglecting my Rose cream. Djunior’s bath time supervision was the perfect moment to rectify this sad state of affairs. I was in the middle of a delicately light rose scented second pass when Djunior decided to add his own dark scent in the form of a floater. Oh well, can’t win them all.
I can’t laugh, because I know my day is coming… but at the same time I do NOT expect to be shaving with a rose scented soap when it happens.
More something like 🌃 🎶?

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
It’s really not the season for Hallows but it was wet and dreary here this morning and I was just feeling it. Will has a way with these dark, moody scents. This one’s a winner for me.
