Prep - Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam Razor - Ever Ready 1912 Peerless Blade - Personna GEM SE Stainless Brush - Shavemac Raptor 26/52 DO1 3 Band Bulb Soap - Phoenix & Beau Sanskrit After - Frozen towel / Brut Original A/S Result - Dolphin Smooth Ahhh.....feels good to be home again. The noise of a 1912 scything through the stubble, I've missed it so much. After years of looking longingly at the brushes adorning many a SOTD, and thanks to Nishy and TSR, I now have a brush worthy of the shaves I enjoy, a work of art with a proper workhorse of a knot. Partnered with P&B, it's the best lather I've ever enjoyed. The post shave feel is sublime, definitely one of the top soaps in production today. Shaves just don't come much better than this.

Razor: Gillette Ball End Tech NDC (declared 1947) Birth Year Brush: Whipped Dog 30/45 Silvertip 2014 Mug: Old Spice Hull Pottery Mug 01 1938 - 1944 the first mug Cream: TOBS Coconut cream Blade: Feather (2) Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black Balm, Old Spice original Shulton 1973 glass cologne Stopper #3 This Old Spice Hull Pottery Mug is one of my prized mugs, being the first OS mug. The difference between the 01 and 02 mug is the ship name, 01 having "Grand Turk" and the 02 having "Frienship". My Gillette Tech is a great razor, and it is a nice mild razor for me even with a Feather blade. Nice lather from the TOBS and the Silvertip to get off to a good start. Very nice two pass shave with some touchup, smooth. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some JB Balm and then some Old Spice original Shulton 1973 cologne. Nice! Y'all have a good one!
