  • Brush: Chisel & Hound Gulf Short 26mm V22 Fanchurian
  • Razor: Geneva Cutlery Co. 11/16 Hollow Ground Round Point | Maher & Grosh 11/16 Hollow Ground Square Point
  • Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Wood Shop - Soap
  • Aftershave: Summer Break Soaps - Wood Shop - Aftershave
  • Talc: Yardley Gold

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.

Very interesting comparison shave between the Geneva Cutlery razor's Jnat edge (mine), and the Maher & Grosh razor's Jnat edge (The Cajun Blade). The Maher & Grosh edge held up well, and felt comfortable and sharp. The Geneva Cutlery edge felt equally comfortable, but did not have as close a result. I suspected this was due to the steel not holding the edge well. Microscope analysis did show more edge wear on the Geneva Cutlery than expected.
