Shaving with multiwall fast because today was late Curran after a short bridge.
Shave in two passes without tinkering has finally rushed me better than I expected this Proglid Fusion .......

Oscar11 boar brush
Pannacrema Nostalgia soap
Nivea AS & balm

Razor: ER 1924
Blade: GEM
Brush: Muhle Black Fiber synthethic
Lather: 3P
Post: Omega balm

Not sure why I don't use 3P more often. It is the best veggie soap I have used. Very well balanced overall performance. I guess I don't care for the almond scent plus it burns a slight bit...
