  • Brush: Chisel & Hound "Spice Lily" - TurnNShave Tuxedo 26mm synthetic
  • Razor: Merkur - 34C
  • Blade: Gillette - Perma-Sharp (1)
  • Lather: Chicago Grooming Company - No. 11
  • Post Shave: Spearhead Shaving Company - 3 Scots Aftershave splash
  • Post Shave: Ginger's Garden - Unscented Aftershave balm (+ menthol)
  • Fragrance: Chanel - Égoïste EdT

My first shave with a CGC soap went incredibly well. Great base that was easy to dial in, super slick, and the scent on No. 11 was super relaxing.

I reached for the 34C because of all the recent chatter around the RR GOAT (which I'm super excited to try). It's still such a solid razor. I might prefer something more aggressive at this point, but I've spent so much time with this razor in the past that it's like shaving on easy mode.

Have a great Saturday, y'all.
