Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar
Razor: Puma 89 11/16 Full Hollow
Lather: House of Mammoth - 福 (Fú Dào) - Soap
Toner: Thayers - Lavender - Toner
Aftershave: Noble Otter - Cerberus - Aftershave
2 passes. Bowl lather. Excellent shave.
Today's razor is Puma 89 #1 in my collection. It has an Ozuku Jnat edge. Yesterday's Puma 89 (#2) had a coticule edge. I can tell the difference in texture between the two natural finishes. Both are extremely comfortable and both produced excellent shaves. The Jnat edge has a slightly softer feel; one that hides the apex a little. The coticule edge is also soft, but provides more feedback on the apex. I am certain that the coticule edge, though pushed as far as the stone would allow, is slightly less keen than the Jnat edge. Adapting one's shaving technique can easily handle this small difference.
You might be thinking Cerberus and Fú Dào? Yep. They complement each other IMO.
