  • Brush: AP Shave Co. black & clear handle w/ 30 mm Tuxedo Fan knot
  • Razor: RazoRock Cyber Medium w/ Superknurl handle
  • Blade: BIC Chrome Platinum
  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - GraveFruit II
  • Post-Shave: Southern Witchcrafts GraveFruit II AS
  • Passes & Info: single pass on head and face. A really solid shave, but some minor irritation on the face in the form of weepers.

Haven't used this soap in a while and the beginning of August is a good opportunity for such a nice citrus scent. I'm really sorry that SW closed down, their scents were really bold and they had one of the best vegan bases ever created. Also, the only artisan afaik who only has alcohol-free toners as their aftershave and those are top notch too.

Seems like my face still hates shaving - while the dome didn't mind blade contact after a day off, my face skin maybe dislikes shaving in general. It doesn't even feel bad until after I rinse the remaining lather off, really weird...
