  • Brush: Omega Pro-48 28mm Boar - custom handle
  • Razor: Geneva Cutlery - Vintage Straight Razor
  • Blade: 9/16
  • Lather: Southern Witchcrafts - Grave Fruit II
  • Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts - Grave Fruit II Splash
  • Fragrance: Southern Witchcrafts - Grave Fruit II

This was my first open blade shave in over a year. I'm honestly surprised I'm not bleeding right now. All in all it was an awkward shave, but the products worked exactly as they should have. My technique leaves a lot to be desired.
