Monday

Soap : Caties bubbles Irish Coffee
Brush : Mystery 22mm
Bowl : Shaving Room
Razor : Superspeed J3
Blade : Dorco Prime Platinum
Balm : Institut Karite

Great shave with a great lather from the brush, soap and bowl combo. First try of a Dorco Prime Platinum, nice blade, which chopped through two days growth nice and smoothly. I have only recently purchased the Institut Karite balm, and its soon become a firm favourite, nice consistency and scent.
