Brush: rubberset travel boar 16mm
Soap: la Santa Monica bay rum
Razor: gillette tech
Blades: Czechoslovakian-made Astra Superior Stainless for the right side of my face and Russian-made Astra Superior Stainless for the left
Post: Thayer rose
After: lucky tiger
first time out with this bowl, razor and brush. the brush is grand its knot is loose and lost 6 or so hairs but I have a ever ready badger in 16mm that will go nice in it, shame it'll be stuck in my travel roll. It's been over ten years using DE's and this is somehow the first time a tech and I have crossed paths. It's so mild I feel like I could shave in my sleep with the tech

Another very good shave tonight. An easy two-pass DFS, but my lather was on point so I decided to try a touch up on my lower neck to see if I could get to BBS on my trouble spot. Not quite, but it was the closest I've gotten yet. A little bit of feedback from that effort, but not bad. The Frosen was amazing. :001_wub:
