Razor: C.V. Heljestrand MK 31
Brush: Semogue 2000
Soap: D.R. Harris Marlborough
Astringent: Dickenson's Witch Hazel
AS: Aveda balm+Ogallala Bay Rum
Result: Big step backward on this one, weepers, cuts, stubble still hanging around. Did not like the soap at all, maybe I didn't get the mixture right. Also the 31 seemed to be catching a little bit. Some careful laps on the latigo strop after the shave and it's passing HHT. Curious. Might have been dry soap. Proof I should stick to what works.
