  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Tuxedo Synthetic
  • Razor: Chiseled Face - Legacy Raw Titanium (#69)
  • Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (3)
  • Lather: Proraso - Red - Soap
  • Post Shave: Aqua Velva - Ice Blue - Aftershave
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth - Mood Indigo - Balm

Not the best shave, but it'll do. I wonder if I gave the lather too much water? It seemed fine.

Aqua Velva++;

Cheap and considerably cheerful!

If I had to pick one commonly available aftershave, I'd pick Brut or Old Spice over Aqua Velva. That's not to say I don't enjoy it, though!

Oh, I would pick those too. @djundjila's Brut trifecta today really has me thinking of having Brut shaves.
