Prep: Country Life Tallow/Lanolin/Glycerin Soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Kent BLK4 Silvertip Badger
Soap: Gentleman's Nod Sir Winston
Razor: Blutt BR-1 (0.99mm plate)
Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Platinum Royal (9)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel, Gentleman's Nod Sir Winston Aftershave Lotion
Scent: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet EdT

Another terrific shave with the Blutt at heightened aggression.
WIth this gap, and the very sharp Royal blade, the shave both efficient and comfortable.
The aftershave is a great product - classic scent, nice skin properties, and a refreshing yet subtle menthol kick.
