  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Gillette Super Adjustable 109 PD (E-3)
  • Blade: Personna Platinum Chrome (2)
  • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. - Scots Pine Sheep - Soap
  • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Incorporeal - Aftershave
  • Fragrance: Barrister & Mann - Lavanille - EdP

I usually use setting 3 on these adjustable Gillettes. Today I went 3, 5, 9, which is probably the opposite direction most people would go if changing settings each pass. I found that although the higher settings have more blade feel, the shave isn't any closer than yesterdays where I used setting 3 only.
