Sample Straightember

  • Brush: Zenith B21 (XL chrome-plated copper handle, 28 mm boar with 50 mm loft)
  • Razor: Filarmónica 14 Doble Temple (8/8, extra full hollow, red scales)
  • Lather: Barrister and Mann – Vespers
  • Post Shave: Barrister and Mann – Lavanille
  • Fragrance: Creed – Wind Flowers

A Filarmónica 14 with red scales with a sample tub of BaM Vespers, a bottle of BaM Lavanille splash and a Zenith B21 brush

Ok, this razor is fantastic, I'm really happy I finally pulled the trigger on a Fili 14 and I was lucky with the one I got. The previous owner seems to have maintained a really good edge geometry. Also, it's not pristine enough for me to worry about using it daily.

Great three pass shave today. Vespers is a really nice scent
