An amazing test shave. I pulled out my BBW/Coti while honing up these blades; it was my first time in a while using these stones and I missed them.
Warmish shower (it's so hot here...)
Semogue 730/GTP Scuttle
Proraso (to keep things cool)
Red Imp 133, William Greaves full hollow, E.A. Berg wedge (shoulderless/French point = nice curves), Wostenholm Pipe (little quarter hollow, rather unusual...), Some massive thing in metal scales with a Hammer and Sickle stamped on the blade
Cool water rinse
Witch Hazel
Nivea ES AS balm
