Brush: Wolf Whiskers - “Coffee & Cream” w/Declaration Grooming B1 Badger
Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (3)
Lather: Chiseled Face - Ghost Town Barber - Soap
Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Aftershave
Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive - Balm

I haven’t used the Era in a while, but my buddy mentioned getting rid of his so I had to whip it out. I love this razor so much I’m going to buy his to keep in the family. I don’t want it going to some ingrate!

Tomorrow this blade will have 4 shaves on it, matching it to the Personna GEM Platinum Diamond Glide that I have on standby. That’ll give me the opportunity to do another side by side shave, maybe a little bit more scientific this time. I’ll try to convince my wife to load a blade in each of my Baili BR171 razors so I won’t know which is which. Then I’ll keep each razor to one side of my face and see which I like best.

That reminds me, did @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social ever reveal the scientific results of his synthetic vs Japanese natural comparison?

He called it, but he never told us which is better

~not betting on synthetic superiority though~

  I called my preference (1 dot over 2), but I don’t know yet which is which. I want to try to get my third abalone as close as I can to that edge using my synthetic progression before asking @whosgotthepudding@sub.wetshaving.social to reveal which is which

  From what I’ve heard, it’s just personal preference anyway! @gcgallant@wetshav.ing is supposed to send my Koraat back with a nice jnat edge. He liked it a lot though, so I may never see it again.
