- 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.
