The WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with Tom's Adjustable Razor and a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

New soap Wednesday Officina Artigiana Najran. Great lather, super thick and rich. I just can’t put the scent into a classification but I sure like it. I think it I’d mild enough to be used year round.
Proraso pre-shave, Omega EVO, Timeless Ti .95 & .50 Slim, Tatra Platinum (3), Officina Artigiana Najran soap, Omega alum, Thayer’s Toner, HAGs Faceless balm. Excellent full three pass shave!

Brian Brown is a talented razor maker out of Tennessee. This is one of his semi-production models he created a few years back, but I don’t think he is currently making razors.
Enjoy your shave.
