• Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
• Razor: Wolfman Guerilla (Gen 1)
• Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (14)
• Lather: Noble Otter - Batters Up - Soap
• Post Shave: Noble Otter - Hamami - Aftershave
• Fragrance: Noble Otter - Hamami - EdP

Batters Up got such a bad rap, and it's really too bad -- but it's honestly one of my all time favorites. It's so good.

Relevant post and frag: Hamami is another scent from Noble Otter that tends to be divisive, and it's also one of my all-time faves. So the relevance is that the scents are not loved by all, but are super-loved by me.

Brush cleaning - My brushes get a thorough rinse with warm water (even if I do a cold water shave) after every shave. I have a water softener in my house, so soap scum (the white residue, which to my knowledge is mostly stearic acid) takes a very long time to develop, or doesn't develop at all. If I do clean a brush, I'm cleaning the white residue off the handle with a dry towel. It wipes right off.
