  • Brush: Zenith B8 (XL aluminium handle, 28 mm ร— 57 mm boar)
  • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, carbon steel)
  • Lather: Declaration Grooming โ€“ Perigree
  • Post Shave: House of Mammoth โ€“ Shire 2
  • Fragrance: House of Mammoth โ€“ Shire 2

I got this soap as an gift with my 2022 Lather Games prize brush, so definitely on theme. Perigree (presumably an apsis with a fancy family tree?) is the well-behaved quiet cousin of Shire, with its clean, outdoorsy freshness and wisps of tobacco.

Shire ++;
Henckels 14 ++;
B8 ++;
