  • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
  • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse ๐ŸŽ
  • Razor: Greencult GC 2.0 II
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (27)
  • Lather: Abbate y La Mantia Marduk
  • Post Shave: Mennen Le Grand Large
  • Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm

The blade is still going strong, and I'm wondering if I should push it further than 30 uses. I had thought that horse brushes do not break in, but it seems to me that the zenith brush is fanning out more than at the beginning of the month. I must have used it around 50 times by now.

Have a good night!
