  • Preshave: Proraso Green Preshave
  • Brush: Zenith 506U XS Horse ๐ŸŽ
  • Razor: Greencult GC 2.0 II
  • Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (22)
  • Lather: Abbate y La Mantia Marduk
  • Post Shave: Mennen Le Grand Large
  • Post Shave: Nivea After Shave Balm

Today I smeared Marduk directly on the brush, and face lathered from there. This is probably the correct way of treating AYLM soft soaps - unless you're using an ultrasoft horse hair brush with 0 backbone. It still worked out reasonably well.

Have a good night!
