  • Prep: warm shower
  • Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic Shaving Brush, Dandelion Green Handle, 24mm
  • Razor: Gillette Aristocrat (1948-50)
  • Blade: Lord Super Chrome (1)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Presto Shaving Soap
  • Post Shave: Nivea - Moisturizing Post Shave Balm

Not sure what happened but today was an uncomfortable shave. Dud blade? Not great lather? I did rush the lather a little, and it looked like it could maybe have been better but it didn't look awful. Oh well, still better than how it was pre-wetshaving.
