  • Brush: Zenith B8 (XL aluminium handle, 28 mm × 57 mm boar)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 17 (NOS, 7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Abbate Y La Mantia – Koké
  • Post Shave: Abbate Y La Mantia – Koké
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth / Noble Otter / Declaration Grooming – Cerberus

Koké and Cerberus are a great pairing as always and the big 17 is one of my favourite razors.

I would not have thought this until I tried it, but Cerberus pairs well with a large variety of scents. I don’t own one myself, but I have tried VW’s 17. I think I like it better than the Friodur 14. It has everything the 14 has with a slight bit more delicacy of feel. (Obviously IMO)

In the 14 vs 17 question, I think I still lean 14. It has more of that feather feeling, but the heft of the 17 is definitely wonderful.
