TFS is a great soap but non-tallow
Badger Brush gives a totally different face feel
Starting with a Four Use Blade because it was in the razor
Overall dried down to a Very Good DFS Shave

Razor: Blackland Batch 002
Blade: 1/2 Personna Comfort Coated “Lab Blues”, 1st use
Brush: Declaration Grooming Jeffington Blood Of Kings 2.0 Two Band B14 Badger
Bowl: Captain’s Choice Copper “Obsidian” Bowl
Soap: CBL Soap Inconceivable Croap
Aftershave: CBL Soap Inconceivable Aftershave
Additional Care: Osma Alum
Additional Care: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Galactic Witch Hazel

- First time shaving with the Batch 002 (ou bien Arc la Défense, as I’ll nickname it). Grip was easy and really could accommodate all sorts of different ways of holding it. Might be great for people who aren’t 💯 able-bodied (arthritis, prior stroke etc) and have trouble with gripping a slim handle. Thought I had the angle figured out, which is how I got confident and gave myself a nick on the chin. I’m going to keep using this and see if I can get to the ideal place with it.

Hope everyone has a great March!

Saturday, March 1st

Razor: Mag T Delta
Blade: Astra Blue
Brush: Asylum Half Hive Fiber
Soap: Asylum Levante
A/S: Mondial Citrus

The Mag T Delta razor isn't what I would call a handsome razor but, the magnet mechanism that holds the blade is innovative and 10x stronger than that of Leaf. I am happy to have added it to my collection. The rest of the shave includes some of my go-to products including the creamy and slick Asylum Levante soap and the Asylum Half Hive brush -a real lather monster.
