Razor: Gillette Heavy Tech
Blade: Eddison (6)
Brush: Yaqi Aqua Synthetic 24mm
Bowl: Captain’s Choice
Soap: Chiseled Face Santa Paula
Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Brut

Another sample from Chiseled Face, my newest soaps. Everything else has been around awhile. As I was selecting what to use today I realized that it has been quite some time since I last used the Tech. It was a good choice today. An excellent 3+ pass DFS+

SOTD JUNE 14th
June 2023 GRUME


Hello friends

Rainy day around here. Perfect for WMF and Omega 48 Pro. The ever-reliable Merkur Progress (5/4/3) was perfect with Wizamet (5) on a DFS. I finished with the wonderful Alpa Windsor.

Frank was with us and brought his “the Ava Album”.

Rating: 9,5

Have a nice day and great shaves.
