  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic
  • Razor: Gillette Tech (Z-4)
  • Blade: Personna 74 (22)
  • Lather: Meissner Tremonia - Woody Almond - Soap
  • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

Nice shave! I tried more water in the Meissner Tremonia and it worked just fine, but I think it works better run a bit dryer.

This blade is starting to show its age. It's not as sharp, and while the shaves are still smooth, they aren't up to the standard that was set between the 8th-20th shaves.
