  • Prep: hot shower
  • Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic Shaving Brush, Dandelion Green Handle, 24mm
  • Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable H3 (1962, 3rd quarter)
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2)
  • Lather: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Chiseled Face - Midnight Stag - Aftershave Balm

Same exact setup as last shave, but my lather was subpar (a little foamy), so I wanted to try it again. I followed the suggestion from @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social and added water more slowly this time. That seemed to have solved it, thank you fellow shaver!
