  • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts "Santa Noir" w/Maggard 28mm SHD Badger
  • Razor: EldrormR Industries MM24
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (12)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Piacenza - Soap
  • Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman Musk - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - EdP

At first I was going to use a DE today to break my GEM streak (briefly) before another month using GEM... but then I thought "hey, it'd be more fun to use the MM24 today with this old blade, and start a fresh blade tomorrow to see the difference". So, I did that. Tomorrow I'll start with a fresh blade. Today was a bit tuggy.
