  • Brush: Omega - 10048 28mm Boar
  • Razor: J. Koester's Sons 11/16", full hollow, square point (13)
  • Lather: Fanzine Saponifications - Testing...Testing... - Soap
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Lonestar - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
  • Fragrance: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Leather - EdT

13th shave without stropping this razor after it was honed. I can tell that the efficiency is dropping off a bit, but it's still cutting well enough. Not sure if I want to continue pushing the edge or give it a good strop before the next go round.

Lonestar and Leather is a lovely combination. I should pick up the Lonestar frag at some point...

Have a great Friday y'all!
