  • Brush: Zenith r/Wetshaving exclusive MOAR BOAR (31 mm ร— 57 mm bleached boar)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 17 (NOS, 7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Catie's Bubbles โ€“ DFTR
  • Post Shave: Catie's Bubbles โ€“ DFTR
  • Fragrance: Summer Break Soaps โ€“ Valedictorian

Lovely early morning shave, this. The premium base of CB is a real pleasure use. It's not that it's necessarily slicker than the other good bases, but it's just slick at every level of hydration. You really don't need any skill to get a great lather with it.

DFTR's bright lively green doesn't complement Valedictorian's sweetness very well, but neither do they clash. The two scents just kind of coexist. The exploration of DFTR continues at full speed and I'm loving the process.

I scored a deal on a DFTR set on the discord, very much looking forward to using it.
