  • Brush: AP Shave Co. - 24mm Synbad Fan
  • Razor: Blackland Era - Level 3 SB
  • Blade: Bolzano Superinox (German) (4)
  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Carpathia - Soap
  • Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Lyssa - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: Korres - Saffron Spices - Balm
  • Fragrance: London Razos - Mountain Laurel - EdP

I really enjoyed this shave. I can't believe that I haven't tried this razor/blade combination before. The Era Level 3 is my favorite razor as of the past few months, and Bolzano has long been a good blade for me. Since I started keeping track of combos that I like (and ones to maybe avoid), Tech/Bolzano has come out on top. The Era/Bolzano seems to match that. Super comfortable, super close.

Carpathia is getting towards the end. A good sized ring of death. I love this scent and will be sad to see it go, but its low level puts it on the kill list.
