Prep: Shower + Proraso - Refrescante Preshave Cream

Brush: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Phantom Aerolite Spectral Synth Hybrid Brush

Razor: Rockwell - 6s R6 plate

Blade: Personna - Super (1)

Lather: Declaration Grooming - Shore shave soap

Post Shave: Alum Block + Declaration Grooming - Shore Aftershave Splash

With the paste-like milksteak base and the useless floppy, fake hair of the PAA Phantom Aerolite I had a real tough time getting a decent lather going. In the spirit of the Lather Games, I pursued and was finally rewarded with a decent, albeit somewhat watery lather. Double-pass shave with the Personna blade turned out nice and smooth. Not BBS, but definitely a DFS.

Challenge: I really dislike this brush and wasn't looking forward to using it today, but it helped fit the bill of color coordination, so today was a nice blue skies at the beach kind of shave.
