• Brush: Chisel and Hound – Flame On with v26 Fanchurian
• Razor: GEM Micromatic Flying Wing (NOS, chrome plated)
• Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
• Lather: Barrister and Mann – Beaudelaire
• Post Shave: Brut – Original
• Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co – Varen

Same software as yesterday, because this edition on Beaudelaire is definitely on theme. I didn't have time for a SOTD pic, so here's an old one.

• Brush: Chisel and Hound w/ 28mm V8 Tip Knot Badger

• Razor: Blackland Razors Vector Titanium

• Blade: Schick Proline

• Lather: Storybook Soapworks x Australian Private Reserve - Fresca Intensa

• Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Co. - Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime

• Fragrance: None

Day 3 of APRil had me searching for a fresh scent. Fresca Intensa is like 9 different types of citrus so I figured SSL was a nice pairing.

• Brush: Wolf Whiskers – "Gianmaria" w/Maggard 26mm Synthetic
• Razor: RazoRock GOAT
• Blade: Personna 74 (59)
• Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Soap
• Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - Aftershave
• Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

My initial impression of this razor is still very good. Excellent, close, and comfortable. I have to wear a shirt and tie for work today, so we'll see how my neck likes it.

• Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations "Nebulagance" - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm synthetic
• Razor: Gillette - Slim Adjustable (L4, 1966)
• Blade: Personna - Lab Blue (5)
• Lather: Zingari Man - The Master
• Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Master Recovery Splash
• Fragrance: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber EdP

I did the step-down thing with my adjustable this morning. It worked pretty well, though I'm not sure it worked better than just setting it to a middle-ish setting for all 3 passes.

Almost to Friday, have a great day y'all.
