  • Brush: Zenith 506B MB (27 mm ร— 51 mm Manchurian badger)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, carbon steel)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Friends to the End
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. Friends to the End
  • Fragrance: Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Baccarat Rouge 540

After two days of safety razors, a big straight razor was in order again. The big smooth Henckels, the scrubby Zenith, and the warm amber of FTTE made for a delightful relaxing and meditative Sunday morning shave.

One downside of Operation Moarteen I've observed: Everytime I use a 14, I get the itch to ask Ulrik about a status update.
