  • Brush: Brad Sears Arley 26mm Super Badger

  • Razor: Dovo Bismarck 6/8" Full Hollow Round Point (Straight Shave 253)

  • Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Wood Shop - Soap

  • Post Shave: Thayers - Lavender - Toner

  • Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Wood Shop - Aftershave

3 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

This shave didn't come around until the third pass. Again, I did three quick passes instead of two more deliberate ones. After the second pass, I was thinking that the edge on this razor had gone off but my result is BBS so I guess all is okay.

This was my second use of Wood Shop. Very nice soap base and an interesting scent.
