Three day stubble meets the lovely near wedge Lund. The Lund won but signaled it was time for a refresh. I’m not the most talented with hones so we’ll re-use the Lund for the next shave to see how I did 👍🏻

Hot water preparation
MSC Black Tie Shave Soap
Savile Row 3824
Lund near wedge 11/16
Cold water rinse
Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel
