  • Brush: Boti Laminate brush with motherlode knot
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 17 (NOS, 7/8", hollow ground, stainless steel)
  • Lather: Red House Farm – NoScrub r/wetshaving s(cr)ub exclusive
  • Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original

I couldn't help but to add an extracurricular Second Luxury Shave™ with the brand new big Frio 17 and the NoScrub.

First of all, with the bear tallow base it is super easy to get a wet and slick lather going. Really great stuff, I'm grateful to grindermonk over on Reddit for sharing it with us! The lavender and sandalwood scent is nice, too.

I picked the big NOS Frio up during my vacation, and I honed it this weekend. Boy is it smooth. This is among the best first impressions I've had with a straight. Really happy I bought it.
