Brush: Chisel & Hound Raven 26mm V26 Fanchurian
Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. 6/8" Hollow Ground Round Point
Lather: Catie's Bubbles - Midnight Dreary - Soap
Aftershave: Noble Otter - Cerberus - Aftershave
Fragrance: Declaration Grooming - Cerberus - Eau de Parfum
3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
This was a test shave for a refreshed edge on this razor. I did this honing as a way of learning the character of a new coticule that I have. A video that discusses the honing is here. This second edge felt a little keener, but equally as comfortable as the first edge I created on this stone. The resulting shave was excellent, and I'm excited to see what else I'm able to do with this stone.
Midnight Dreary is a great scent. Following it with Cerberus worked out because they share similar base notes and vary in the top notes. The stone fruit in Cerberus takes the orchid in Midnight Dreary in a different direction, but it seems natural to me.
