Brush: The Goodfellas’ Smile “The Hog” (three years old) Razor: Henson V1 Mild Jet Black (two years old) Blade:: Lord Platinum Lather: Cheap local tallow soap Post Shave: Nivea Sensitive Balm

Average shave, had a few bumps as per usual. Around five days’ worth of growth which for me results in a thick beard. But my Henson made easy work of it as I tweak it by loosening the handle 1/4 turns to make it from a Mild into a Medium. Cuts down the stubble no problem. For the second pass, I tighten the handle to “factory settings” so I get a milder shave for touch-ups.

The brush I’ve had for three years, I got it when I started wet shaving. It’s been holding up real good (no shedding etc). I’ve ordered a Yaqi Timberwolf synthetic as an upgrade and a Simpson Bay Rum soap to go with it (I do have other soaps beside the tallow as well, Prorasos being among my favourites).
