Saturday

Prep: Hot Shower-Stirling Cocoa Butter Bath Soap
Soap: La Toja Stick

Blade: Personna Med Prep (4)
Brush: Whipped Dog Synthetic w/Bethlehem Olive Wood-24mmx58mm
Aftershave: Stirling Sharp Dressed Man

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)


I used one of my “Travel” set-ups today, even though I am not traveling over the Holiday.
La Toja Stick: quick cushioning lather. The WD Synthetic does an excellent job lathering. I am still with the MR1 handle on my Fat Handle Tech using a Med Prep blade. Another smooth, close, nick free shave. I finished with Stirling Sharp Dressed Man.
