  • Brush: Zenith B44 28mm Boar
  • Razor: Thiers Issard Évidé Sonnant 6/8" Extra Hollow
  • Lather: Zingari Man - The Master - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner
  • Aftershave: Zingari Man - The Master - Aftershave

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Today was a test shave for the refreshed edge that I put on this razor using my Olympus stone. The result was definitely much better than yesterday.

This scent has a lot going on in it. The title relates to a master barber who has been working for many years, and the scent supposedly captures what his shop would smell like; worn wood floors, leather, some bay run, and so on. I certainly would not mind going to a shop that smells like this.
