Strop Shoppe Special Edition and D.R. Harris

I really enjoyed today’s shave, with a few of my favorite things. The Wet Shaving Products Monarch HMW brush worked well with Strop Shoppe’s Special Edition Teakwood with tallow: very fine lather indeed. I do build the lather on my face, and I find it easy to adjust the lather when more water is needed: a driblet of hot water into the center of the brush, working that into the lather on my beard, and I can tell immediately when I hit the sweet spot.

The Tradere Solid Bar did its usual fine job in a three-pass shave, and then a good splash of D.R. Harris Pink Aftershave ended the shave on a fine note.
