  • Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Micromatic Open Comb
  • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (1)
  • Lather: Fanzine Saponifications - Caravaggio - Soap
  • Post Shave: Barbasol - Brisk - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive Beard & Face - Balm

$discord After using vegan Tabac yesterday I was tempted to use the tallow stuff today, but my responsibility to pump up the numbers for Fanzine took over. This will be my 9th Fanzine shave this month.

Today's lather was just great. I haven't used a GEM since August and typically the first shave back is a bit rough if I've gone that long, but I kept a light touch and was rewarded with an incredible shave.
