I had to get in a pairing with Cerberus Fougère before the end of the month, and it did not disappoint.
One more day with this blade, and then I can bin it. I'm looking forward to using a fresh blade again.

I might make this my Sunday freedom shave, Varen + Cerb Foug sounds just wonderful right now. Maybe even exaggerate a bit and top it off with Weinstrasse ☺️
