Brush: Shavemac Silvertip 2-Band 20/48 ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช
Soap: Chiseled Face Natural ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
Razor: SS Baili B3 ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ (3)
Blade: Gillette 7o'clock Black ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ (5)
ASL: Clubman ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

A superb shave. :biggrin:

(Barring my handle length preference) the B3 is an excellent razor except for the gaps between the OC teeth being cut off straight, rather than being continued at an angle to assist used lather and whiskers disposal. This means exceptionally frequent rinsing, otherwise the waste just accumulates there (which is a bit of a PITA :001_rolle).


Happy shaves guys. :cornut:
