  • Brush: Semogue Owner's Club (cherry wood and boar)
  • Razor: Heljestrand 14 (7/8", full hollow, carbon steel)
  • Lather: Le Père Lucien – Cologne Fougère
  • Post Shave: Mennen – Skin Bracer
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth – Tobacconist

Really enjoying this sweet green LPL fougère. I'm continuing my run through all my 14-style razors in impatient anticipation of the Moarteen. The Heljestrand is my latest addition to the family, and it's a loose interpretation of the 14 form factor: the grind seems heavier than Filarmónica, Henckels (including Friodur) and Böker 14s, and it lacks the typical lightly curved spine and slight smile, a bit like the Thiers Issard version.
