  • Brush: Summer Break Soaps "Elyria" - TurnNShave v9 Tip 28mm Badger
  • Razor: Trident Shaving Varukh
  • Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp (4)
  • Lather: Mike's Natural Soaps - Orange, Cedarwood, & Black Pepper - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chicago Grooming Co. - Discordia - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
  • Fragrance: Stirling - Destination Unknown - EdT

Close, comfortable shave. I think this will be my last with the Varukh. Overall I enjoyed this razor, it's efficiency, and the light weight, but I doubt I'd pick one up for myself. Slants just don't spark much thrill for me right now.
