S.O.T.D - Saturday 27th September to Friday 3rd October

Pre: Village Barber oil
Cream: TOBS "Jermyn Street"
Brush: Orchid Isles 24mm Silvertip on Curly Koa handle
Razor 1: J.A. Henckels "415" (Father's razor)
Razor 2: Ikon OSS w/SE handle
Blade: Treet Platinum (1)
Post: Thayer's witch hazel, followed by Village Barber balm
First pass WTG with the "415" was a little harsh. Looking at the edge under a 45x loupe shows the edge has a mild serrated appearance. Guess this one is going back to the stone to clean it up. 2 passes with the OSS cleared away the stubble without issues.

Razor: EJ DE89

Prep: Groomed face scrub
Shaving Soap: Aramis
Brush: Edwin Jagger Chatsworth ebony synthetic bristle
Blade: Shark super chrome
Razor: Edwin Jagger Chatsworth barley chrome
ASB: Toscano black pepper.

This is the first time I've used Aramis. The shaving soap has a citric and woody aroma. It did not lather as well as I expected, and I had to keep reapplying, so I'll see how it goes for the next few days then use something else. Other than that, it was a close shave, leaving my skin mildly moisturised before applying the black pepper balm.
