  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Lost Nativ 26mm Fanchurian V13

  • Razor: F.W. Engels Chas R. Coates & Sons 6/8 Full Hollow

  • Lather: Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

  • Aftershave: Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


This was a test shave of this F.W. Engels razor. The Jnat edge on this came out stunningly good, and the whole experience was enhanced by the wonderfulness that is Thé Noir et Vanille.

Silly joke because of the F(riedrich) W. Engels razor. If Engels made one, his colleague and best friend K(arl) W. Marx probably dabbled in it as well when they took breaks from theorising the liberation of the proletariat?

Ok, I'll show myself out

I missed that completely, but there are many reasons I shouldn't have. I guess cognitive decline is really a thing :/
