Saturday Night.

  • Razor: Razorock - Game Changer .84
  • Brush: Omega Pro-48 - Custom Handle Boar Brush
  • Blade: Gillette Nacet (1)
  • Lather: Barrister's Reserve - Fern
  • Post: Lucky Tiger - Aftershave & Face Tonic

This was a late evening shave. I had yet again gotten to the point the scruff on my throat was irritating me to the point I wouldn't be able to sleep. I am constantly amazed at how well the budget friendly Omega Pro-48 Boar brush lathers. The Barrister's Reserve Fern isn't a soap I use often, but for late night shaves I tend to grab something pretty neutral smelling as to avoid angering my wife.

Omega 10048 might be my favorite brush so far. It just keeps getting better the more I use it.

I just wish the handle was nicer… so I transplanted my knot after AA 2023
