I had to contribute to March Madness yesterday, but next Friday is an even numbered date, so I will start then. This might be a great way to make an actual dent in my tub of MdC.

  • Brush: Grizzly Bay - Chisel & Hound v24 Fanchurian 26mm Badger
  • Razor: ERN 207 (13/16", full hollow, round point) (22)
  • Lather: Noble Otter - Lonestar - Soap
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Lonestar - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Oleo & Co. - Facial Toner - Toner
  • Fragrance: Le Labo - Santal 33 - EdP

One of the closest straight shaves I've had yet. I'm not sure what it is about this ERN but the current edge and the geometry work very well for me.

Looks like NO was knocked out in yesterday's round of March Madness, so I pulled out Lonestar in honor of the otter. It's a truly lovely scent in a great base.

1st pass WTG 2nd pass XTG. This was my first time using a Bolzano blade. It went great on the WTG pass so I really went for it on the XTG, I was a little (a lot) too aggressive. Definitely wish I had just kept it to the WTG pass.
