• Brush: Stirling 24mm Synthetic
• Razor: Gillette Tech (Z-4)
• Blade: Wilkinson Sword Classic (1)
• Lather: Chicago Grooming Co. - Caoba - Soap
• Post Shave: Pinaud - Clubman - Aftershave
• Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

Travel shave, but I checked a bag so I get the benefit of using a DE.

This Goodfellow lotion is kept in my travel dopp bag, but I love it and plan on buying a second one for use at home. It’s a thicker consistency but goes on smooth. Slightly thicker than Stirling Balm, closer to DG Liniment (but not nearly as greasy).

• Brush: Wild West Brushworks – Copper Shadow with Timberwolf knot
• Razor: Ever-Ready Streamline
• Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
• Lather: Abbate Y La Mantia – Koké
• Post Shave: Abbate Y La Mantia – Koké
• Fragrance: House of Mammoth / Noble Otter / Declaration Grooming – Cerberus

Koké is one of my luckier blind buys. Heavy floral, a bit sweet, some pear and musk, really lovely stuff. Works well with Cerberus, too.

• Lather: Dr. Jon’s Shaving Soap Co. - Flowers in the Dark - Soap (Vegan)

The dark, woody lavender from Flowers in the Dark never fails to satisfy. Woodshop played on the wood notes and took it to another level.
