    Yesterday I started unpacking my household goods shipping boxes and the first box I opened contained all of my shaving soaps, post-shave items, razors and blades. One of the first soaps I saw was Varen, so I grabbed it to use today. On Tuesday u/tsrblke mentioned that SIM would pair well with Varen, so I decided to post with the Moos.

    Similar to The Tsar, I've used the Varen balm multiple times, but today was my first use of the Varen soap. The mutton tallow base is awesome! I really enjoyed the shave and capping it off with a splash of Moos was icing on the cake. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.

    • Brush: Stirling Soap Co. Zenith Boar Brush 31mm × 50mm
    • Razor: Zwilling J. A. Henckels Friodur 14 (8/8", extra hollow ground, stainless steel)  
    • Lather: Stirling Soap Co. Varen
    • Aftershave: Mühle Aloe Vera Rasurlotion 

    The big Frio 14 is just a wonderful razor. I'm enjoying many of my straights, but there's something about this one that they just can't replicate. It's maybe the combination of heft and extra fine grind that gives this feeling of gentle control.  The splash was my go to post shave in my early days in this hobby, and it felt good using it again.
