  • Brush: Semogue Owner's Club (cherry wood and boar) (33)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 17 (NOS, 7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Catie's Bubbles – Reflection
  • Post Shave: Catie's Bubbles – Reflection
  • Fragrance: Chatillon Lux – Weinstrasse

The CB premium base really lives up to its hype. So creamy, so slick, so easy to dial in.

Weinis and Reflection are a great combo.

Frio 18;

I don't think I've tried the Premium base. I have some of his Luxury soaps and they are great. I have Blugère coming and that's in the Premium base IIRC.

Are you planning to use the 17 all September? My plan is to use the same brush, but a different straight each day. [though, yesterday's R. Saito makes me want to use it again sooner than October]

No, I have shown weakness and ordered yet another 14, so that's going to get used, and I'll probably want to enjoy my den a bit.

I'll stick with the 17 for a while though. Enjoy the new razor

yet another 14

One can never have enough of these. I'm looking forward to it!

Me too! It's a vintage French 14, which I haven't seen a lot
