  • Brush: Muninn Woodworks w/ C&H V19 Fanchurian
  • Razor: Iberia 14 Doble Temple 8/8, Extra Hollow Square Point
  • Lather: Los Jabones de Joserra - Passion Incense
  • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving - Seaforth! Black Watch Aftershave Splash

This Iberia just landed yesterday. So I immediately has to take it to the stones. I set the bevel on a 3k Hayate Yoshihiro synthetic, then went to Kasumi with my Shobudani Suita and finished on my Nakayama Kiita. I stropped suede/leather on my Kanayama. The resulting edge was fantastic.

I've seen it boasted that Iberia's have a better feel even than Filarmonica. With no exaggeration, I agree with that. The steel felt incredible. Light and extremely gentle, it has that amazing Swedish steel feel. Crazy happy with this razor.

I took a page out of u/oswald_heist's book and decided to pair Black Watch with Passion Incense. Super nice pairing.

Wonderful shave this morning.
