Razor: ATT S1 + Wave handle

First drive with my new Wave handle attached to the ATT. Feels really nice in the hand and fingers naturally fit into the slender sections of the handle. It makes a great companion to the Kronos and Weber Bulldog handles.
Grand stuff Grandstaff; it's one of my top soaps. The scent I can only describe as intoxicating, it stays with you long after the shave and conditioning gives a soft face feel all day. The only issue I have with it is that it makes my skin go reddish for about 10 minutes afterwards but no tingling or discomfort. No way am I going to stop using it though because it's so good.
Also enjoyed using this horsehair brush. It gives a little scritch at first then is super soft. One of my favourite brushes, a contrast to other brush types.
Have a great weekend, folks.
