  • Brush: AP Shave Co. - Cashmere 26mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Merkur Futur
  • Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (3)
  • Lather: Australian Private Reserve - Torchwood - Soap
  • Post Shave: Australian Private Reserve - Raconteur - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Stargazer - Aftershave Serum

Great shave! I've been sitting on this last tiny bit of Torchwood for years, and finally figured it was time to use it. What a wonderful scent.

I'm auditioning knots to put in my Rad Dinosaur Creations custom handle, and I've ordered 3 different synthetics from AP Shave Co. I just used the knot without a handle and loved it. I don't even think I'll bother trying the other two (for this handle).

Everything clicked with this shave. So good. The Futur is something else, but turned down to the lower settings I do like it quite a bit.
