Pre: Village Barber oil
Soap: Prairie Creations "Old Spice"
Brush: M&F L7 Butterscotch
Razor: EJ DE89 head on ATT Kronos handle
Blade: Bic Stainless (2)
Post: Thayer's Original witch hazel
AS: Vintage Old Spice cologne, followed by Village Barber balm

I'm really liking this new brush! First go with this soap, it lathered really easily and have a thick yogurty GLOSSY lather. The lather had a shine I haven't seen in a while. Very slick and the fragrance lasted a good while after the shave was over.
Bic blade was still very sharp but smoothed out a bit. Had 2 weepers.

Good evening, Gents.

Drinking Grants Ale Cask Finished Whisky and listening to Dolly Parton's 'Jolene' at half speed. I heard it on the radio and it sounds fantastic! Kind of like Joni Mitchell.

Well, this Feather blade is still going strong; not in the least tuggy and slicks through whatever it's put against quite happily. I'll carry on with it. My secret? Hand stropping.

The rest ...

Simply, sublime. Loved it!
