Much better angle than my Feather SS Bulbous end
Overall a GREAT Three Pass Shave Result

Great Friday shave! Returned to Taylor of Old Bond Street and their excellent "Oud" shave cream. Wonderful oud, saffron, rose scent with excellent lather built with the Saponificio Varesino 2.0 Manchurian Badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '49 Gillette Milord and I finished with a splash of Quinn's Pink Grapefruit & Orange Rind witch hazel, followed by Czech & Speake "No.88" aftershave splash & EdC.
Hope you have a great day.
