  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal, now with 28 mm Gelousy knot
  • Razor: Böker – Abalone (6/8", full hollow, carbon steel, French point)
  • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
  • Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original

Super smooth shave with the Abalone today. This is really a great razor (if you keep the sharp point in mind). It's heftier, possibly stiffer, than my other Bökers, but the grind doesn't seem thicker. Either way, it's right down my alley.
