    For Friday:

    Brush: #6 Horsehair (Turkey)
    DE: Super Speed (US)
    Blade: Shark (Egypt)
    Cream: Barbon (Hungary)
    AS Gel: Tabiano (Italy)

    There is really no way I can stick to one country for my shaves because I just don't have enough items from one particular place to do it with. At least the US gets a double mention! :)

    My coalition today was American (Personna Med Prep, '63 Super Speed, Thayer's WH Rose.) Portuguese (Semogue 1305) Turkish (Dalan D' Men Sensitive) Swiss (Juicy Couture Dirty English).

    After I re-knot one of my vintage Ever-Ready's, I'll be able to do an all American shave.
