  • Brush: Zenith B15 (506 U/L) 27.5mm Boar
  • Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. 6/8" Hollow Ground Round Point
  • Lather: Noble Otter - Monarch - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
  • Aftershave: Noble Otter - Monarch - Aftershave

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I tend to overlook Monarch. I shouldn't though since I know it mixes lavender with cognac, coffee, sandalwood, and other notes and reminds me of a place that feels familiar.
