• Brush: Maggard Razors - Tuxedo 24mm Synthetic
• Razor: Worcester Razor Co. Straight - 6/8 Hollow (3)
• Lather: Central Texas Soaps - Down at the River - Soap
• Post Shave: MW - Bay Rum - Aftershave
• Post Shave: Zingari Man - The Stargazer - Aftershave Serum

Decent shave! Less irritation than yesterday – either because of my technique, the lather, or both! What am I saying, isn’t it all technique?

This aftershave was sent to me by a good friend who I’ve converted to wetshaving. He made this Bay Rum using Rum, uh… Bay, and some other stuff. It’s very smooth and honestly smells great. A lot of the Bay Rum’s that I’ve smelled are sharp with the spiciness, and this one leans heavily into the actual Rum scent. Quite pleasing!
