Brush: Omega Synthetic
Razor: Merkur 37c
Blade: Astra SP Green
Lather: Van Der Hagen - Shave Soap - Soap

I got this shave soap like 8~ years ago before I gave up wet shaving and used a buzzer. I got a job that requires me to be clean shaven about 4 years ago that got me back into wet shaving. When I bought the puck it was at a Walgreens. I went through two pucks at the time this was my 3rd I ever bought and I had no idea about artisan soaps at all. I got this merkur 37c on sale for like 23$. Coulda used a bic disposable but no fun in that. And this omega brush I bought for travel. It’s a trash brush though so I just let it fester in my den.

Here’s my lineup.

Van der hagen soap: $2.99 Shitty dollar tree mug: $1.00 Merkur 37c: 23$ Omega synthetic shit brush: $8~

Shave went surprisingly well. The soap no longer smells of the shea butter they used to use. It smells like basic soap now. I cut it up and melted it in this shitty bowl 8-9 years ago. Merkur 37c I love for one pass shaves. Omega brush is trash and sucks at splaying or lathering. It’s stiff af and took work to get a good lather(prob a brush soap combo issue). 5/10 shave. Cheers!
