Had a good shave today. Chucked the VDH Select and am back to the Deluxe, which I love. The difference between those two is so incredibly stark, it's almost like they are not made by the same manufacturer.
Have a great shave, everybody!

Aftershave: Clubman

My first shave with my Oscar11 brush! This brush is fantastic, both the handle and the knot (thanks Oscar11)! I felt it deserved Stirling Clubman on its first outing. I was able to quickly load enough soap to do a 3-pass shave face lathering. I finished up with Clubman.
