Brush: Sterling Boar
Soap: The Fat
Post: Alum
EDT: L'Occitane Cade
Cold water throughout my shave was really enjoyable after the initial shock.
Due to mobility problems I have been shaving in the kitchen sat on a stool.
My first pass went superbly then SWMBO walked in and asked me a question while I was on my second pass and the Friodur bit me on the chin. I have a very nice chunk removed as a result.
I have come to the conclusion I will never straight shave again until I am back in my den where there is peace and quiet.
Left the shave as it is. Tomorrow is another day.
Mitchells Wool Fat gave me plenty of slickness with loads of cushion whipped up by my second use of the Stirling Boar.
I have high hopes for this boar. The handle and weight is superb. I am not sure how long this will take to break in so I want to give it plenty of attention.
Finished with the alum.
Enjoy your shaves!

Brought this brush down for a friend. Interesting handle made of a synthetic waterproof wood. The knot has more backbone than I remembered and was very face friendly.
