    • Brush: WSP Stubby 26mm Extra Dense HMW
    • Razor: Blackland Razors Vector
    • Blade: Feather Artist Club Professional (2)
    • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Hallows - Soap
    • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Hallows - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: Thayers - Rose - Toner
    • Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Hallows - Eau de Toilette
       

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    The shave felt great. I have no idea what my issues with this blade in this razor were before. I think that yesterday’s shave with the WR4 might have been slightly closer, but that’s probably related more to technique than the razor.

    Hallows continues to be amazing!

    • Brush: AP Shave Co. - 24mm Synbad Fan
    • Razor: Timeless .68 SS Scalloped
    • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (4)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Piacenza - Soap
    • Post Shave: Australian Private Reserve - Raconteur - Aftershave
    • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Jitterbug - EdP

    Wow, Piacenza is quite nice. I’ve never smelled the real thing (Acqua Di Parma Colonia), but I can see why people like it. It has a nice sophistication to it.

    I used Raconteur soap the other day but forgot to use the matching aftershave, so this makes up for it.

    • Prep: hot shower
    • Brush: Unknown Travel Brush, Reknotted w/ Maggard Razors Shaving Brush Knot 20mm Timberwolf Grey Synthetic
    • Razor: Gillette Ball-end Tech K4 (1965)
    • Blade: Lord Super Chrome (1)
    • Lather: Zingari Man - The Watchman - Sego Shaving Soap
    • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Watchman - After Shave Balm

    Apologies for getting real with you guys for a moment, but I feel compelled to mention that my dad passed on two days ago, and this was my first shave since then. My wife and I and my brother are staying here at the house with my stepmom. It’s fitting that this travel brush used to be my dad’s until he gave it to me about a year and a half ago.
