  • Brush: Alpha Shaving Works T-400 w/ AP Shave Co. - 24mm Synbad Fan #FRANKENBRUSH #RESURRECTIONBRUSH
  • Razor: Merkur Futur #ADJUSTABLE #FLIPTOP #ZAMAC
  • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (10)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Promises - Soap
  • Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - Aftershave

Barrister & Mann soap is made in New York, and the founder of the company says he splits his time between New York and Massachusetts. Double whammy!

I picked Promises because I bought a tub of it yesterday when it was on sale for $5. Now that I've spent money on it, the sample smells better. Funny how that works.

Woodshop is SO good. Get some.

I started on setting 4 with the Merkur Futur, and decided that anything above setting 3 and it ceases to be a "safety" razor. I turned it down to setting 1 for the final pass. It's funny to me that such an expensive razor is made out of a cheap material like zamac, but I think a razor of this design would simply be way too expensive using any other metal.
