Man, the more I see that Dovo the more I want one, such a beutiful razor.

Today's shave:
Brush: Semogue 2015
Soap: TGQ Autumn Spice
Razor: EJ 89 w Astra Blade
AS: none
Shave: BBS is two passes, zero irritation despite it being the 3rd shave on this blade. I'm rather worried about the brush though, the cracking and failing of the finish is noticeably worse than it was a week or so ago. Roll on my new job so I can buy a new brush and save this one for special occasions.

Prep: hot shower, stubble shampoo and Hâttric Pre-shave
Lather: Cut Tabac puck whipped in stacked mugs by a best badger brush
Razor: Wade & Butcher hollow ground
Post: Hâttric AS splash

Very smooth and fresh
