  • Brush: Maggard 30mm Black & White Synthetic #TOLL
  • Razor: Henson AL13 Mild
  • Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2)
  • Lather: Maggard Razors – London Barbershop
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Seville

This is my first time using Maggard’s House Soap and the performance was pretty good. I used a gram of soap and got WAY too much lather out of it. Probably enough to do both a face and head shave, but I didn’t want to shave my head today. The scent on London Barbershop is a little generic, but it is definitely something I would be ok smelling like all day every day if I was on a budget and could only afford one tub of soap. I decided to do a shave today of all things from my very first Maggard’s order, which was my very first foray into this hobby. This is the first brush I bought (it’s way too big lol, also here is a Maggard's link to prove the TOLL tag), this was the first splash I bought (Seville is a top seller for a reason), and this was the first razor that I bought (I have since decided that it is way too mild, but it will always hold a nice place in my heart for being first).

In the DQT I asked a question about the OC plate for the vector. I really want to try it, but would like to hear some others’ experience first. Here is the permalink.

Healthy activity of the day: I got my longest ride so far yesterday. Starting to have to find new additions to the loop I’m riding. I’m continuing Hyperion today while killing time until it’s cool enough outside to go for today’s ride. This summer has been very bad for me sitting in front of a TV and reading is my new weapon against that. LG Mileage: 17 miles
