  • Brush: Semogue - 1305 Boar
  • Razor: Wolfman Guerilla - Gen 1
  • Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber - Soap
  • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company - Seaforth! Heather - Toner
  • Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive - Balm

Nice. My plan is to use this blade until the number of uses matches the Personna GEM Diamond Edge that I've been using, then compare them. The GEM is in a sweet spot right now, with yesterday's shave being impossibly close.

My tub of GTB is nearing the home stretch. I might use it until it's gone, but something tells me I'll get bored of it before that happens.

For some reason, at this time of year, every soap I have looks like something I haven't used in a long time and need to revisit. I have about 5 soaps ready to be killed but can't bring myself to concentrate on them.
