    Preshave: Proraso White
    Brush: Brad Sears 2 band Custom 30mm
    Bowl: Castle Shave Lather bowl
    Soap: Fougere Gothique Barrister & Mann
    Razor: 9/8 W&B Custom Scales FBU

    Edt: Fougere Gothique Barrister & Mann

    Great shave, this soap never fails me and this razor is just my ultimate favorite. I can’t stop picking it up. The scent is not the greatest. Smells a lot like your grandfathers old cologne sitting in the middle of a wet football field sitting on top of a full septic tank. My wifey hates it but I absolutely love it... go figure lol definately not something you want to use everyday but performance is excellent. A plus is that my Brad sears seems to be opening up nicely.

    They are both from Wild West Brushworks. The one on the right is a two band badger, the one on the left has a knot I glued in myself, and honestly I don't recall the details other than it is also a badger. Both work great.

    A 26mm synthetic from TGN and a handle I made from acrylic rod off the bay,,, not my favorite brush, but it is my first synthetic knot. It kinda slathers the lather like a brush and it is different than the stiff backboned badgers I like.

    This is a The Shave Nook 2012 LE (89/100). It is made by Semogue. The knot is mixed - boar and badger. It is considered to be one of the nicest knots produced by Semogue. As I remember, it took me about a year to find this brush. Well worth the perseverance and effort.

    My brush of the day is Vlasta's T-400. It was my first shave with it, and it will be on deck for the rest of the week. A very nice lathering brush indeed.

    preshave: Proraso White
    Bowl: Castle Shave Lather bowl
    Razor: 6/8 Wade & Butcher custom scales
    Soap: Martin De Candre Rose
    Brush: Brad Sears Custom 30mm Select Badger
    Aftershave: Barrister & Mann Lavender

    End results were great face feels damn well soft and slick. Just shy of BBS as I can still feel a tiny bit of neck stubble. This doesn’t bother me, but having to go back to the tub mid Shave bothers me! Not pleased with that. Still learning the brush apparently, and learning how to Lather lol. Hope you guys enjoy the vid... some interesting comments in there
