  • Brush: Zenith B44 28mm Boar
  • Razor: Smart Helix Apollo (setting: 0.85 plate)
  • Blade: Wilkinson Sword Black (6)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Amazelnut - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
  • Aftershave: Barrister and Mann - Leviathan - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


To me, this scent is always that of a hazelnut coffee with some cream. Love it. The Apollo (made in Ukraine) is a terrific DE razor. It's stainless steel and has a long handle. I prefer a long handle, and really like the weight of this razor.
