A strange combo of very nice, very close, and lots of weepers. Seeing as how I do like this razor, I can only blame the lather!

- Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations “Stardust” - TurnNShave 26mm Shoat
- Razor: J. Koester’s Sons 11/16", full hollow, square point (4)
- Lather: Fanzine Saponifications - Bubblegum Rose - Soap

Pretty good shave overall. Two passes plus some clean up on my neck and chin with a DE.
This scent is a nice rose with a hint of sweetness behind it. The base performed great as well, though I do think his final formulation makes a better lather.

I’m this close to calling it. I’ve revealed (to myself) the edges I’ve been using over the last 4 days, and I’ve guessed them correctly: The edge with 1 mark is smoother than the other. Both are really good, but one is just better. I’ll do a few iterations of random guesses, where I’ll have my wife randomly draw a razor in the morning and I’ll guess which edge it is before checking the marks. If that works out as I think (i.e., I guess the edge reliable) for a week or so, I’ll take that as unimpeachable evidence.

Sample part 2 of 3. It’s been awhile since I have used B&M. It has a really nice base. I wish the scent was stronger.
I hope your Monday feels like a Friday.
