  • Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar

  • Razor: Iwasaki 13/16" Full Hollow Square Point Tamahagane

  • Lather: House of Mammoth - Smash - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

  • Aftershave: Ariana & Evans - Peach & Cognac - Aftershave

2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.


Smash and Peach & Cognac go very well together IMO, and the Tamahagane steel on the Iwasaki takes such an incredible edge. The Zenith B40 keeps marching on. Even though it is only its fourth day, I'm starting to get lather to flow through the brush.

Pretty much an unparalleled shave today.
