SOTD: Thursday September 7, 2017


Razor: Parker Variant (restored by Delta Echo)
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (3rd use)
Brush: Maggard Synthetic 22MM in Bronze 
Soap: Henry's Lather Co. Craft Brew 
Aftershave: Barbedeaux 

• After the shave there still was residual scent from the soap. This is a fantastic blend of oatmeal and stout. Jonathan was really receptive to feedback after his initial run, which is a good practice for any new and upcoming artisan to perfect their formula. 
•  I enjoy the post feel Barbedeaux gives after the aftershave has had a chance to work it's magic after an hour or so. Real skin food.
