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.

I find it stockpiled in my shave den, just in case they ever stop making it. It's easily my favorite splash. It cools just the right amount, smells great(personal opinion), and makes my skin feel nice.
