Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm × 51 mm Manchurian badger)
Razor: Thiers Issard Le Dandy
Lather: Stirling Soap Co – Varen
Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co – Varen
Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co – Varen
Delightful morning shave for three reasons:
The freshly honed Dandy. Doubly nice because I’ve been missing straight razors after mostly safety razors for over a week, and because this fresh crisp edge is on point. Satisfyingly smooth and close ATG, it cleared my neck with just a few long strokes. No buffing, no touch-ups, no notes.
The Manchurian. Not just in contrast to the underwhelming Mühle Purist of the last few days, this scrubby badger with just the right amount of backbone and the comfy handle punches way above its price
