  • Prep: Splash of hot water
  • Brush: Moar Boar!
  • Razor: Weck Sextoblade
  • Blade: Kismet
  • Lather: ZM The Watchman (sample from J33p)
  • Post Shave: Lucky Tiger Splash
  • Post Shave: Proraso Sensitive Balm

In all this was a pretty good shave. I spent a bunch more soap, and time making lather than in previous shaves and ended up with a much thicker lather. I'm also getting better with the Weck, as this is the second time I've done both a North to South, and South to North shave with it, and remained nick free.

  • Brush: AP Shave Co. - 24mm 2Bed Synthetic
  • Razor: Chiseled Face Legacy - Raw Titanium (#69)
  • Blade: Super-Max Super Platinum (2)
  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Tobacconist - Soap
  • Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman Special Reserve - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Jitterbug - EdP

I got a razor as a gift recently, and although the razor is too aggressive for me, the handle that came with it is really quite good. I don't have any handles similar to it, so I'm going to keep the handle. It has nice knurling and it's probably the grippiest handle I have. It adds a lot of weight to the otherwise nimble Chiseled Face Titanium razor, but I don't mind.
