Run: Sprint8 in Merrell Barefoot shoes
Shower: Tepid w/ MdC Fougère bath bar
Pre: Proraso Crema Pre Barba
Razor: EverReady Streamline + Pella PTFE (2)
Brush: Elite7 XL Bucky (Buckeye Burl handle + WSP Finest XD 27/50)

AS: Krampert's Finest Acadian Spice Bay Rum -- Hip Flask
Please allow me to introduce everyone to my newest creation from Bob Quinn at Elite Razor, Bucky. Bucky is a Buckeye Burl handle whose inspiration comes from the Simpson M7 and Rooney XL profiles. The knot is a Wet Shaving Products Extra Density (XD) Finest with final measurements of 27/50. Bob was once again a pure pleasure to work with and as you can see he turns a stunning handle. I highly suggest anyone looking into a custom brush or razor to contact him. He will turn your vision into reality!

Good morning. Wednesday:
Jaggerooney w/Feather, #4
SR 3722
Valobra stuck w/lavender
Thayer's Lavender witch hazel
Fitjar East Indies A/S Balm
Alpa Fouguere EDC
Pleasant shave today with the Feather. It doesn't seem to be losing sharpness whereas the Dorco 301 would be noticeably less sharp at this point in its shavecycle.
