  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic
  • Razor: Gillette Tech (Z-4)
  • Blade: Personna 74 (23)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Vespers - Soap
  • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Nefertiti - Aftershave

Saxe Sunday. Vespers is great. This blade, which has been starting to feel less than sharp, felt better today. Probably a testament to Omnibus. I don't have any evidence, but I feel like since B&M soaps can hold so much water, they can also "release" a lot of water into the whiskers, making them softer. It's probably more complicated than that. Either way, great shave.
