  • Brush: Wolf Whiskers - "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Worcester Razor Co. Straight - 6/8 Hollow (3)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Gratiot League Square - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Friends to the End - Balm

Welp, 3 shaves is all I need to know that it's time to bring this razor back to the drawing board. I'll need to do some more work on the spine to get it flat and have a real apex, I guess.

Fortunately there is a lot that I like about this razor, so hopefully in the end my work will pay off.
