  • Brush: Declaration Grooming - "Blood of Kings" Jefferson B14 28mm Badger
  • Razor: Atelier Durdan Horizon
  • Blade: Schick Proline (3)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Spice - Soap
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann - Reserve Spice - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
  • Fragrance: GLHF Workshop - Polyphemus - EdT

I dropped the Horizon down to setting 1 this morning, which is the mildest setting. This gives it pretty negative blade exposure, and necessitated a steeper angle with the razor to get a good shave.

Very comfortable shave though once the angle was right. It was a definite decrease in efficiency, but the result is still a very close shave.
