  • Brush: Zenith - 508A XL/Bristle (B35) (MOAR BOAR) 31mm Boar
  • Razor: Joseph Rogers & Sons Near Wedge (1)
  • Lather: London Razors, Summer Break Soaps - Mountain Laurel - Soap
  • Post Shave: London Razors - Mountain Laurel - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Santa Noir - EdP

I rubbed this razor on my 10k today, but totally forgot to strop it. Either way, great shave. I like this razor a lot.

I've heard people mention some razors have softer metal, and I think this is one of them. It only lasted 10 shaves from my initial honing, and it has a softer "feel" to it. The softer feel could also just be the wedge shape?

This soap is getting close to the finish line. One or two more shaves and it'll be done.
