    • Brush: AP Shave Co. - 24mm Synbad Fan
    • Razor: Wolfman Guerilla (Gen 1)
    • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (1)
    • Lather: Palmolive - Sensitive - Cream
    • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm

    I enjoyed this shave more than I thought I would. Palmolive certainly is not an artisan soap, but it works. I try to keep track of good razor/blade combos that I come across, and I don’t think I’ve tried these together before. It ended up on my “good” list, though! Bolzano work well in mild razors for me.

    • Brush: Zenith B8 (XL aluminium handle, 28 mm × 57 mm boar)
    • Razor: GEM Micromatic Clog Pruf, first generation, NOS
    • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
    • Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original
    • Aftershave: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original

    The B8 with the higher loft works better than the stubby B21 with veg Tabac, but I’m still not getting the kind of sopping wet slickness I used to get from the tallow Tabac. The dialling in continues.
