  • Brush: Zenith B44 28mm Boar

  • Razor: Koraat 14 "Moarteen" 15/16" Full Hollow

  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose (Mutton -r/Wetshaving) - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner

  • Aftershave: Stirling Soap Co. - I, Rich Moose - Aftershave

  • Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz - Sir Irisch Moos - Eau de Cologne

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Today was a day where I spent my shaving time focused on technique. I'm trying to keep pressure against the skin as light as possible and vary angle enough to always cut beard hair at the most efficient angle. This is allowing me to do a 3-pass shave that is closer than my normal 2-pass shave and even more comfortable.

That brush is breaking in nicely

This one is breaking in faster than any other boar that I've experienced. It's a keeper to say the least! (I picked it for its looks 🙄)
