For Tuesday-same as today except Brush-MaggardRazors 24 mm Synthetic I should add that I found a bowl big enough to comfortably house the Burma Shave Cakesoap, and more importantly it fits on my sink! Hopefully less clankity sounds from the brush as it loads. After removing the soap from the Burma Shave mug, I was stunned to see how much I still have.

Mühle Rocca :: Elite Manchurian :: Grooming Dept. Vetiver Nobile :: Pitralon Classic I'm really enjoying the new Rocca. My 2nd generation Rocca is very good but I didn't enjoy the Jet. This version really hits the spot and the handle feels great.
This is a most excellent shave. I went with the modern P&G Old Spice on Sunday. Smelled great all day.

Thanks. It's difficult to keep that shave bowl perfect. Looks like perfection but it's easy to scratch if dropped or banged against anything. And I don't have a way to replace it if it ever gets marred by an accident around the other gear. For now it's well enough intact that it looks flawless unless very closely examined. I would like to eventually find another one as a 'backup' bowl if anything should happen to this beauty.
