Brush: Zenith Unbleached Boar
Razor: u/EldrormR Industries MM24
Blade: Personna GEM Uncoated [22]
Lather: Eleven - Five - Soap
Post Shave:* Eleven - Five - Aftershave
First go with the Eleven soap and splash today. This is a new brand for me and with the 50% off discount I decided to just roll the dice on what was essentially a mystery scent with “Five”. The base is isn’t especially better than others but also not worse so I’m perfectly happy with the quality of the lather. Turns out that Five (at least to my nose and my wife’s) is just “soap” scented soap (and “soap” scented aftershave). So I definitely smell clean and would use it again, but there’s no emotional draw from it.
The MM24 continues to provide great shaves, even with the uncoated (i.e. not PTFE coated) blades I bought by accident (I didn’t pay enough attention to the fine print after searching on Amazon for PTFE GEM). I’m sticking with this blade through MMarch24 since it’s still going strong, but I’m honestly curious if I’ll find that the PTFE coated ones perform noticeably better since I have zero complaints about these uncoated ones.
The Zenith unbleached boar is awesome, especially now that it has been completely defunked.
