13th April - Artisan April SOTD​

Razor - Stirling Soap Co. - Muhle Rocca R94
Brush and Artisan Pick - Frank Shaving 24 mm Unbleached Silvertip badger
Lather - Catie's Bubbles 'Irish Coffee'
Post Shave - Oaken Lab 'Far Afield' AS Splash
Blade - Treet Dura Sharp

Frank Shaving makes some of the best shaving brushes ever and in my opinion his Badger knots are at another level. The 24 mm Unbleached badger knot whips up a great lather and is pillow soft when splayed on the face with jut enough backbone.
