Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Gillette Super Thin
Brush: Omega 31025 "Scarlatti" Boar
Soap: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel/La Toja Classic Balm
A very smooth and comfortable shave this morning. The Omega brush easily made a nice lather and the Futur/GST combo did the rest. The GST is one of my personal favorite blades. This morning is another cold one, and the La Toja balm was an excellent choice and provided a great, protective finish.
