Rosy Shave

  • Prep: Klar Activated charcoal facial soap
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 472½ (NOS 13/16" hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Brush: Zenith B21 (XL chrome-plated copper handle, 28 mm knot with 50 mm loft)
  • Lather: Geo F. Trumper Rose shaving cream
  • Aftershave: Noble Otter Two Kings splash

I'm really enjoying the scent of this Geo F. Trumper Rose cream. Simple, warm, maybe a bit grandma-y, but in a good way. I don't think I have it really dialled in yet, and my first pass was a bit pasty vs a watery third, but even so, performance was good enough. I'm regretting that I didn't take the post shave as well but Two Kings made a nice pairing.

It felt good to shave with a straight again after a few travel days abroad.
