2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
I am totally enjoying the 1950’s shave experience with No. 89. That wooden bowl just looks right next to my wash basin.

Back to DE’s after about a week of GEM. A lot of people prefer the FBT to a regular oval or triangle slotted tech, but I prefer the latter. The FBT is more aggressive, but to me it doesn’t improve the efficiency much, if at all.
I’m like most people and don’t like Derby blades, but this is a Derby Premium! It’s better than regular Derby, but still not a favorite.

- Brush: Simpson Chubby 2 Manchurian
- Razor: Böker – 14er (8/8", extra hollow, carbon steel, square point)
- Lather: Southern Witchcrafts – Pomona
- Post Shave: Southern Witchcrafts – Pomona
- Fragrance: House of Mammoth / Noble Otter / Declaration Grooming – Cerberus
Very nice morning shave with the big Böker and the SW base.
Pomona and Cerberus work less well together than I expected. Live and learn.
