Razor: Paradigm SS 17-4
Blade: Polsilver (1)
Soap: Stirling / WSP Frankensoap (2 parts Lemon Chill, 2 parts G&T, 1 part Citrus Blast)
Aftershave: Stirling Tea Tree ASB
Bowl: Doug Smith Pottery
Brush: Lowborn Supply Ember
Thoughts: More than any of my other razors, I am discovering that the 17-4 demands that I use a new, sharp blade for it to truly shine. Today was a more pleasant shave compared to yesterday, when I used a GSB (5). Binned the GSB right after. Frankensoap produced a very dense, slick lather - though post-shave was found wanting and skin felt dry. In my opinion, this is the key differentiating factor for top soaps.

Whenever I go to shave, I assume there’s someone else on the planet shaving, so I say “I’m gonna go shave, too.”
