Brush: Semogue Pharos-c3 Pure Black Horse Hair Shaving Brush
Razor: Gillette 1959 Super Speed (Blue Tip)
Blade: Lord Platinum [1]
Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Scots Pine Sheep - Soap
Post Shave:* Duke Cannon - Aftershave Balm - Balm

Haven’t used a Lord blade in a long time. When I first got into wet shaving, the Lord Platinum was my go-to. It just worked the best for me at the time. My facial hair is much thicker and course these days, and the Lord blades just don’t offer as smooth a finish as they once did for me. I still ended up with a great final result, but it took two passes (WTG & XTG) plus some buffing to achieve it. If I used a more aggressive razor, it may have been a different story. I just can’t help but love my Blue Tip for every day shaves! I’ve really fallen in love with it again this past month and regret it collecting dust over the last few years.
