  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Lost Nativ 26mm Fanchurian V13
  • Razor: Dovo Bismarck 6/8" Full Hollow Round Point] (Straight Shave 269)

  • Lather: Noble Otter - Jack - Soap

  • Post Shave: Thayers - Lemon - Toner
  • Post Shave: Noble Otter - Jack - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


Well, I think that my photo is color coordinated so I think I meet this challenge.

Noble Otter Jack is a very citrus-forward scent but it is on the milder side of scent strength. For me, it has a beautiful blend of scent notes overall. I really like this one as a summer scent.

The Dovo Bismarck continues to be one of my favorite shavers. It took a lot of effort to find the right honing method for this razor. The shave-ready edge from the factory was not to my liking and, initially, my own edges were only so-so. Once I found the right honing formula, though, this razor has been a top performer. u/djundjila has the same exact razor and experience with it. I hope that he is gets a chance to see what this razor can really do.

In the recent Sidebar challenge u/RedMosquitoMM commented that it's nice to see photos that aren't pitch-black studio shots (which my photos usually are). Well ... I was once again drawn to the dark side for this one.
