  • Brush: Wald Nimbus Chryselephantine 29mm A1 Fan
  • Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. 6/8" Hollow Ground Round Point
  • Lather: The Holy Black - Gunpowder Spice - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
  • Aftershave: The Holy Black - Gunpowder Spice - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This was a shave test of the synthetic edge that I just put on this Genco razor, but the star of the show was the Old Spice/Black Powder scent of the soap and splash from The Holy Black. For me, it doesn't get much better than this!
