Razor: Rare Gem 1912 Open Comb
Blade: Gem Blue Star Carbon Steel
Brush: Wolf Whisker Beehive/Badger
Soap: Ballenclaugh Honey and Tobacco
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: CHH Tobacco
Fragrance:
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,335

A pause and reflect shave before taking the HAVE to buy it attitude with the recent razor on loan. FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) taken out of the equation by using a $15 razor and getting the same quality of shave if not better. It may not be as flashy and new with the latest hype but it delivers the shave. Just goes to show you that the quality of the shave is not dictated by the fanciest or most expensive razor..........It's a matter of having your technique down and knowing how to shave. Time for some coffee and out the door for work. Have a great day Everyone !!
