• Prep: hot shower
• Brush: Yaqi Cashmere Synthetic Shaving Brush, Dandelion Green Handle, 24mm
• Razor: Edwin Jagger DE 89L
• Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1)
• Lather: House of Mammoth - Hygge - Soap
• Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Hygge - balm

Going back to when I first started wetshaving, this razor + blade combo was the first one that really clicked for me. Up until then I had only tried blades that didn’t work for, but with the Silver Blue it was my first time realizing that shaving could actually be pleasant. These days the EJ is not one of my favorites, but with the Silver Blue it almost feels like comfort food.
