  • Brush: Simpson - Trafalgar T2
  • Razor: Rockwell - 6C (R3 plate)
  • Blade: Bic - Chrome Platinum (6)
  • Lather: Stirling - Evergreen Forest
  • Post: Stirling - Coniferous AS splash
  • Post: Ginger's Garden - Unscented AS balm (+ menthol)
  • Frag: Barrister and Mann - Fougère Aromatique EdT

This was a super relaxing shave. It felt like I went from the height of the trees (Evergreen Forest + Coniferous) down to the musty, mossy, fern-covered earth (Fougère Aromatique). A luxurious (™️) and relaxing end to the weekend for sure.

This was also my first lather with the T2 brush. It performed quite well, arguably better than my Yaqi synth. I'm glad I picked this one up.
