  • Razor: Feather Artist Club SS Kamisori
  • Blade: Feather Professional
  • Brush: r/wetshaving 31mm Zenith Moar Boar
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming - Southern Paradise
  • Aftershave: Declaration Grooming - Southern Paradise

I probably underloaded a bit but the lather was still pretty good. I have a tendency to overcompensate when I use a stiffer brush on a softer soap and it was my first time using the moar boar on milksteak so I didn't want to load half the tub for one shave. Still not tired of this scent.

This is exactly one of the reasons why I prefer Barrister and Mann's Reserve soap base or harder. I tend to use waaaay too much soap when the base is soft... though I suppose with how much soap I have, I could probably afford to overload my brush every time.
