• Brush: Grizzly Bay - Chisel & Hound v24 Fanchurian badger
• Razor: Yates Precision Manufacturing - 921-M
• Blade: Gillette - Perma-Sharp (2)
• Lather: Zingari Man - The Master
• Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Master Recovery Splash
• Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Ubrique EdP

Mediocre shave – for whatever reason this blade just wasn’t cutting very close. No real irritation, but not at all the results I’d expect after three passes.

All the scents were great though. Tomorrow I want to do the Ubrique trifecta to see how it all plays together.

Praise the weekend y’all.

Cream is great, so is the flavor

It was a bit late for a straight, but I still used one – and nicked myself. Will I ever learn?

Otherwise, I really like the Yaqi Bingcha brush – I may rejoin @DaveWave94@sub.wetshaving.social in his belief in synthetic superiority.

Have a good night!

I think this soap likes more water than I’ve been giving it. Too bad I’ll probably put it back on the shelf for another 9 months, and by then I’ll have forgotten how to use it.

I used Montrose Beach a lot in 2021 and then kinda forgot about it. A very nice rediscovery.
