• Brush: Wolf Whiskers “Coffee & Cream” with DG B1
• Razor: GEM Damaskeene
• Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (2)
• Lather: Chiseled Face - Topanga Fougere - Soap
• Post Shave: Barbasol - Brisk - Aftershave

If you’ve ever smelled Martin de Candre “Fougere”, this is very similar. I prefer Topanga Fougere, as it’s slightly less bright and comes in a better soap base.

The Damaskeene is pretty much the perfect GEM razor for me. It’s mild compared to most other GEM options, but the results are pretty damn good! Not as close of a shave as, say, a Micromatic Open Comb, but more more fun.
