Route 66 Sweeney Todd today. 20 seconds to load the oscar11/TGN 2-Band Finest brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Vintage Schick Plus Platinum still in the Gillette Black Beauty. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with Burberry Brit EdT.

Citrus Sunday

Razor: Paradigm 17-4
Blade: Polsilver (4)
Soap: Shannon's Soaps Barbershop
Aftershave: Stirling Wintergreen Splash / Lemon Chill Balm
Bowl: Jays Clay
Brush: Fendrihan Synthetic 24MM

Thoughts: Great value-themed shave today. Compared to my Maggard's brush, I find the Fendrihan more to to my liking because it is slightly stiffer. Shannon's Soaps, in my opinion, offer some of the best value in the market right now. Bracing aftershaves (Stirling Glacials) seem to be my preference lately. Wishing all DFS folks a great start to the week ahead.
