  • 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.
