Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Shavemac 3-band Silvertip Badger
Soap: Ariana & Evans Grecial Horse
Razor: Blackland Blackbird (long handle)
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Swede (1)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel
Scent:TOBS Sandalwood Cologne

An absolutely life-affirming shave. I love the appearance and performance of my newly acquired long handle Blackbird in machined finish.
The Blackbird and vintage Gillette Swede chuckled with contempt at my coarse 5 day growth, and effortlessly scythed me smooth.
I was at DFS after two passes, but the shave was going so wonderfully well that I performed a third ATG pass for a BBS finish.

The old world charm of the TOBS sandalwood cologne was a great way to finish.
