    • Brush: Chisel & Hound Classic 26mm V23 Fanchurian

    • Razor: Dovo Facharbeit 6/8" Full Hollow Square Point

    • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Marilyn - Soap

    • Toner: Thayers - Lavender - Toner

    • Aftershave: Barrister and Mann - Marilyn - Aftershave

    • Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Marilyn - Eau de Toilette

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


    Marilyn is a haunting scent. It definitely has a way of triggering memories, but I’m not certain I would be as positive about it if I did not have the EdT.

    Today’s shave was a test shave for this razor. Here’s the video. The shave was exceptionally close and, while I enjoyed it, I think most would find the edge to be “too sharp”; meaning that there’s too much edge feel. I think that with a bit more stropping, the edge will develop a more gentle feel to it. For me, a full-on BBS shave that was very comfortable and that left the skin feeling good.
