• Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar

• Razor: C.V. Heljestrand MK 10 13/16 Half Hollow Square Point

• Lather: Gentleman’s Nod - Tusitala - Soap

• Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

• Aftershave: Gentleman’s Nod - Tusitala - Aftershave

• Fragrance: Gentleman’s Nod - Tusitala - Parfum Extrait

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

I don’t see a lot of Gentleman’s Nod used around here. The fragrance for Tusitala was created by a perfumer, and it shows. Lots of notes, but the scent is subtle and sophisticated. I like it a lot but think that the Parfum Extrait could be bolder. I used Brut yesterday so it could be that my nose has reverted to wanting mid-1960’s scent strength.

• Brush: Maggard 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic
• Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
• Blade: Bolzano Superinox (Egypt) (6)
• Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Oro Valley - Soap
• Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Delor de Treget - Aftershave

Really good shave. I lost track of how many passes I did, so it was either 3 or 4. Great smelling soap, and this blade continues to work well.
