November 28th, 2025 * Brush: Maggard Razors 24mm Synthetic * Razor: Gillette Red Tip Super Speed * Blade: Astra Superior Platinum SP (1) * Lather: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - Soap * Post Shave: Summer Break Soaps - Woodshop - Aftershave * Post Shave: Nivea - Sensitive - Balm Astra SP are very popular, but historically they haven’t appealed to me for various reasons. I haven’t used one in a while so decided to see if I was missing anything. They’re fine… but I’m not missing anything. The soap base from Summer Break Soaps is incredible! Woodshop is a wonderful, warm scent.
