  2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

Stunningly good shave today. I think a lot of it relates to Nuàvia Nera which is just a wonderful fresh scent paired with a great vegetal soap base.

Enjoy your weekend!

• Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
• Razor: GEM Pushbutton
• Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (7)
• Lather: Barrister & Mann - Petrichor - Soap
• Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Petrichor - Aftershave
• Post Shave: allMan - Refined - Balm
• Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Damocles - EdP

I'm on another GEM streak. The pushbutton is a nice shaver. Honestly it feels similar in "aggression" to the MMOC and Clog Pruf. 🤷‍♂️

• Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Zenith Boar Brush 31mm × 50mm
• Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur Unnumbered 8/8" ( hollow ground, stainless steel, round point)
• Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Varen
• Aftershave: Sir Irisch Moos

This one's bigger than yesterday's big Frio 14, but it feels just as gentle. These more modern unnumbered Friodurs tend to have a bad reputation in certain forums, but I can't see why. Other than the joyless straight-lined design, it's just wonderful.
