  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Zenith Boar Brush 31mm × 50mm
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur Unnumbered 8/8" ( hollow ground, stainless steel, round point)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Varen
  • Aftershave: Sir Irisch Moos

This one's bigger than yesterday's big Frio 14, but it feels just as gentle. These more modern unnumbered Friodurs tend to have a bad reputation in certain forums, but I can't see why. Other than the joyless straight-lined design, it's just wonderful.

Are you hoping to kill it as an excuse to buy more? 😀

Oh yeah, but not how you think: this goes immediately back on the to+buy list😅

I know I should kill stuff I don't like to make space to try new things, but instead the only soaps remotely near a kill are Varen and Tabac, i.e., essentials 🤦‍♂️
