I was doing the F4M, documenting every shave for March, maybe missing one or two. I thought it would be a good idea to continue and document my routine. It should help me in identifying omissions and errors.
Since January 2017 I use one razor and one sivertip brush. Both made by Edwin Jagger, both top of their line - Chrome Bulbous. Needlessly expensive, but I never cared about the price of an item. I paid for and bought my immunization against AD for razors and brushes. Plus, they're seriously good looking pieces, amazing craftmanship.
Also present: EJ long handle razor of a less expensive variety I bought in 2015, now used for travels; EJ travel badger brush I got in small barber shop in Amsterdam in January 2013; a simple badger brush I got from Mühle in 2012, which is there for emergencies. Two other shaving related items I own are black apothecary mug and chrome brush+razor stand; yes, both by Edwin Jagger. Incidentally, I use mug for soaking, as I prefer lathering directly on the face.
Thus, two variables are soap and blade.
