  • Brush: Wald Nimbus Chryselephantine 29mm A1 Fan

  • Razor: J.A. Henckels Friodur 14 Full Hollow Square Point

  • Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Wood Shop - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

  • Aftershave: Summer Break Soaps - Wood Shop - Aftershave

  • Fragrance: Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Oud - Eau de Parfum

2 passes. Face lather. Good shave.


A really nice shave today. Wood Shop is a wonderful scent and MFK Oud complements it very well. The Frio 14 was a joy to use but my shave today was not as close as with my other stainless razors. A quick records check shows that it has been 10 months since it was last honed, and I use this razor a lot. So, time to hit the stones with this one.
