• Prep: Hot shower
• Brush: Chisel and Hound Sakura with v21 Fanchurian
• Razor: Muhle Companion
• Blade: Astra Green (Indian)
• Lather: Talent Soap Factory - Switchback
• Post Shave: Zingari Man Sego Aftershave Balm Unscented

The scent notes on the tub say, “Amber, teakwood, coffee beans, musk, cedar and leather all mellow with hints of lemon, bergamot, neroli, iris, and vetiver.” By my count, that’s 11.

Normally, I feel pretty comfortable using my left hand for things. But I had a lot of trepidation going into this shave. I made it through the WTG pass, but called it there. I spotted a couple weepers and I’m blaming my maladroit handling. If I were determined, I’m sure I could get used to this and build some muscle memory. But for now, it just feels dangerously awkward.
