Very nice shave with the Fanzine!
Still sort of auditioning this knot for transplant into my Rad Dino handle. I think I'll probably end up getting a synthetic for it, though.

Very good!

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
The glass soap jar and large frosted glass aftershave add class (and expense) to this setup, but I don't understand the relationship with Maullu other than his social media popularity. I would not have purchased this because, on the surface, it appears like a gimmick to me. Luckily, this set was a gift to me and I quite like it. The curvy WoolfBlades razor and this Legacy set gave me a great shave today.
Another comfortable shave with the Superslant L3.
@walden clued me in on blade exposure. Yesterday, I showed an image of cap exposure. Here's a couple of images showing blade exposure.
Have a great day!

A good shave, with the always nice Arcadia. Especially with the cooler weather, this is a scent I appreciate.
Have a good night!
