Fougère Friday

  • Brush: Dogclaration LG 2022 Mystery Brush (B16)
  • Razor: Böker Abalone
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Reserve Fern
  • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux – Weinstrasse
  • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company – Seaforth! Heather

Three very different fougères for today. I'm still figuring out how much water to shake out of this knoot before loading, and my Reserve lather was a bit bubbly today, to the answer is "more".

I'm really enjoying straightember, but today I felt like adjusting my sideburns. Mine are at a length where the blade has to cut at the level of my eyes, making it difficult to see what I'm doing. It works, but using an open comb safety razor would have been easier.
