The PAL is a more recent pickup, I dig it. I’m impressed with how well it’s made and the shave quality, seems to be pretty underrated.

The brush is a one-off that I commissioned Prometheus to make, it’s a pine that’s been heat treated and then sealed— the result is a really unique handle where the grain stands prominent. The color shifts between black and brown depending on the lighting.

Hi folks. I've been out of the loop for a few days, and I hope everyone has been having happy shaves. Those familiar with Shavemd will recognize this soap as a tribute to him, and this shave - my first with the soap - is my way of paying respects to a very fine gentleman who is no longer with us.

Brush: Zenith Manchurian Copper (28mm 2B)
Soap: ETHOS ShaveMD (F Base)
Razor: Tatara Masamune OC Plate-Nodachi Cap, Wizamet
