  • Brush: Wolfman WRB2 Bronze w/AP Shave Co MiG 26mm Premium Hybrid

  • Razor: Thiers Issard Le Grelot 6/8 Full Hollow

  • Lather: Barrister and Mann - Amazelnut - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Cucumber - Toner

  • Aftershave: Noble Otter - Cerberus - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


A very quick shave today. I had no time to check today's theme, but I had time to enjoy Amazelnut and pair it with Cerberus (not perfect, but not a bad pairing). The Le Grelot is the first good straight razor that I purchased. Prior to getting it I used Gold Dollars. I can put a good shaving edge on a Gold Dollar but they aren't shave-ready when you get them. Their quality control is poor and the design is inelegant. The Thiers Issard is the opposite. Great steel, elegant design, excellent handling, and in the lower price category of high quality razors (along with Ralf Aust).
