No shave for me today. Last night we had our first performance of the year at the scrimmage game for our team. The kids did well and had a good time, which is more important. So that took up most of my afternoon and evening yesterday.
Yard work later this morning and then we're meeting my parents for lunch.
Alice brought me a few shaving items from her grandmother's house. They are cleaning it out as her grandmother recently moved to an assisted living facility (she's 94). Her husband died about five years ago and they're still cleaning stuff out. Anyway, Alice and Wilson were over there helping out on Thursday and she came across some shaving stuff. It's all pretty old and dusty. Here's a picture:

The Old Spice mug (my first!) has soap in it. The red lid is flimsy plastic and is a little cracked. You can see how dusty stuff is. Hermitage straight razor, a Klenzo badger brush (needs to be reknotted), older version of Williams, and some type of Valet SE razor.
I plan to use the Old Spice and Williams at some point. Hopefully this version of Williams is better than modern Williams.
I've been chatting with
@Primotenore about this version of Williams and it looks like it's not the terrific vintage formula but rather the iteration after it. It's not the modern Williams recipe.
Anyway, it's always neat to inherit items and I know this group would appreciate this haul.
