• [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
  [*]Brush: Knotty Badger refurbished Ever Ready 300 in Silvertip
  [*]Cream: SCS Fairway Rose
  [*]Razor: '20's Gillette Old Type with Ball End Handle
  [*]Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge (shave 11)
  [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
  [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner & Pinuad Clubman A/S

  [*]Result: A magnificent BBS shave with nary a trace of red. Sorry for the Mack the Knife reference.
