Greetings: First Posting
Hello Gent's,
I thought it would be fun for my first posting here at SRP to be my SOTD photo.
Look forward to meeting you all and learning from the more experienced straight users.
Today's shave:
Aqua di Parma Cream | C&F Pre-Balm | Simpson CH3 | Dovo 5/8 Mother of Pearl | Aqua di Parma AS Splash | Penhaligon's Opus 1870 EDT.........ahhhhh.......a shave fit for a king yet obtainable by a mere pauper such as myself!:
