Lather: Dovo + glycerin
Brush: Kingsley Badger

Astringent: Thayers WH

This was quite the mystical shave with all the whiskers seeming to disappear with a wave of the razor. The thick, luxurious lather was so smooth and cushiony that the razor seemed to glide just above my face. My face is less wrinkled, my teeth seem straighter and I am at least an inch tallerAmazing what a great shave can do
