- Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
- Razor: GEM Pushbutton
- Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (7)
- Lather: Barrister & Mann - Petrichor - Soap
- Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Petrichor - Aftershave

- Fragrance: House of Mammoth - Damocles - EdP
I’m on another GEM streak. The pushbutton is a nice shaver. Honestly it feels similar in “aggression” to the MMOC and Clog Pruf. 🤷♂️
- Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Zenith Boar Brush 31mm × 50mm
- Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur Unnumbered 8/8" ( hollow ground, stainless steel, round point)
- Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Varen
- Aftershave: Sir Irisch Moos
This one’s bigger than yesterday’s big Frio 14, but it feels just as gentle. These more modern unnumbered Friodurs tend to have a bad reputation in certain forums, but I can’t see why. Other than the joyless straight-lined design, it’s just wonderful.

Are you hoping to kill it as an excuse to buy more? 😀
Oh yeah, but not how you think: this goes immediately back on the to+buy list😅
I know I should kill stuff I don’t like to make space to try new things, but instead the only soaps remotely near a kill are Varen and Tabac, i.e., essentials 🤦♂️
