    • Brush: Maggard 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic
    • Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
    • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (Egypt) (5)
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Margaritas in the Arctic - Soap
    • Post Shave: Chatillon Lux - Weinstrasse - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: Nivea Sensitive Balm
    • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - EdT

    I finally found the courage to use MITA, which was included as the free sample in my last Stirling order. I’m not a fan of menthol, and this one smelled strongly of menthol, but the shave itself was easily bearable. The underlying scent (Margaritas?) is pretty nice! Fun, maybe a bit sweet. I prefer my real margaritas on the dry side, which is hard to find (granted I don’t look very hard), but the aroma of a sweet margarita is still appetizing.

    For post shave stuff I switched to Fougere Friday. I should really move this Weinis aftershave, because I get a lot of frag burn from it more often than not.

    • Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar

    • Razor: ERN 2611 7/8 Full Hollow Round Point

    • Lather: Martin de Candre - Fougère - Soap

    • Toner: Thayers - Rose - Toner

    • Aftershave: Fabergé - Brut - Aftershave

    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

    Today’s shave was a test shave of a razor that was sent to me for honing. I put a Jnat edge on it and this edge is just killer. Much of the credit for this result comes down to the lack of wear on the blade, great geometry, and steel (Solingen) that can take a great edge.
