  • Brush: Chisel and Hound Ambrosia Maple with 26 mm synthetic Maggard knot
  • Razor: Koraat Sparschweinchen (7/8", "Sheffield-style" full hollow, carbon steel)
  • Lather: Spearhead Shaving Company Seaforth! Sea Spice Lime
  • Aftershave: Speick Men Active After Shave Lotion
  • Fragrance: Farina 1709

20.1 is still my favourite base and although the Highland base works very well, I'm sad to see it go. It's the base I have dialed in best.

Great BBS shave, and thanks for Farina, I will smell great for about another 17 minutes (not the best longevity, this one).
