• Pre-shave: Maggard's Razors - Grapefruit Pre-shave Oil, Coffee, Face wash soap/warm water
• Brush: Maggard Razors - Maggard Blue Swirl, Timberwolf Synthetic, 24mm
• Razor: Maggard - V3A Head / MR8 Handle
• Blade: Astra Superior Platinum, DE
• Lather: Maggar's Razors. - Mango Sage Tea
• Post Shave: Henkel, Iberica - La Toja

Everything soap to razor blade was bought from Maggard's. The only exception is the shave bowl which was won as a prize at the 2023 Maggard's shave meet up.

I don't use a pre-shave oil much - only when my face is getting dry. When needed the Maggard's private label one is my choice.

My Maggard's V3A Head / MR8 Handle is my travel razor of choice. Why? Other than a nice shave it is substantial - it is easily the heaviest safety razor I own. For a car trip I just like a substantial razor. Don't exactly know why. So when work sends me to a client in another state. This razor is on board. If flying, a different story but by car this one goes with me.

Interesting Maggard's Order

The order wasn't crazy. The order's trip was.

No bad reflection on Maggard's this order was packed well and addressed properly. The US mail system, yeah this one particular order left me wondering if I was going to get my order.

I'm in the middle Midwest. So not terribly far from Maggard's. Even though only a couple states adjacent I had one order go (at least by the US Mail tracking) Through the states to Georgia, then to Missouri (the order spent four days in a town of 120 that does not have a postal facility). After that the order next went to Nebraska then began a rotation where it passed through six states completely circling and hitting all states adjacent to mine. It then disappeared from tracking for a day, then reappeared in my own state, and two days later was on my doorstep.

Take care and have a good one.
