    • Brush: Wild West Brushworks Deep Pearl 26mm Sweet Spot Badger
    • Razor: Blackland Razors Blackbird Ti
    • Blade: Gillette Nacet (3)
    • Lather: Ethos Grooming Essentials - Succès - Soap
    • Post Shave: Ethos Grooming Essentials - Succès Skin Food - Splash
    • Post Shave: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner

    Ethos seems to do their own thing. A pretty expensive soap relative to the competition and you can make a good case that their products don’t provide good value. But I like their soaps. The post-shave for Ethos feels unique. The likelihood is that it is a just a nice tweak of well-known ingredients. I don’t know, but I appreciate the effort. The scent of Succès leans towards Creed Aventus but has a sharper more pineapple feel to it. I like it a lot.

    The Blackbird is generally regarded as aggressive, but I very much like all the blade feel and can manage it to get very comfortable shaves. So, once again, a very nice evening shave.
