  • Brush: Elite Razor Honduran Rosewood Burl 24mm HMW Fan

  • Razor: ERN 6/8 French Point Full Hollow

  • Lather: Floris London - No. 89 - Soap

  • Aftershave: Floris London - No. 89 - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


The soap base for No. 89 is only good enough. There are plenty of artisan soaps that have better bases. The key thing about No. 89 is the wooden bowl and that awesome 1950's/1960's scent. I could use this everyday.

Sorry @enndeegee, I'll be doing Atlas Shrugged this month.
