  • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Zenith Boar Brush 31mm × 50mm
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Varen
  • Aftershave: Mühle Aloe Vera Rasurlotion

The big Frio 14 is just a wonderful razor. I'm enjoying many of my straights, but there's something about this one that they just can't replicate. It's maybe the combination of heft and extra fine grind that gives this feeling of gentle control.

The splash was my go to post shave in my early days in this hobby, and it felt good using it again.
