Pot of the day...
This is one of a limited edition of 2,014 pots made in 2014 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the start of WW1. I could think of no finer pot to keep one of my favourite shaving soaps in: Phoenix & Beau Albion.

It also seemed appropriate to use my pewter '1914' silver tip (not made in 1914!), my Ever Ready 1912, and some of the good old GFT west indian Limes Skin Food, which I now decant into an antique field surgeon's bottle (great condition apothecary bottle that is carried in a steel outer bottle (it has a spring cork in the lid that holds the stopper in tight and the top locks into place with a twist...I love this piece!).

The other aspects of the shave: Glyce pre-wash, GFT Skin Food as pre-shave cream and post shave balm, coal tar wash, cold rinse and alum, and Wickham's 1912 Citrus Musk AS splash.

Overall a good shave, but I think I'll be going back to the EJ89 and Nacets from now on. Maybe on 11 November at 11am, this would be a good shave to have.;)

Happy shaving all!

Superb pot,i like the insight into it also...nice shave set up too.Regards.;)
 
Double surprise. I expected blood or at least tugging but the vintage Paradise (?) blade in the 1912 worked really well. No dramas BBS.

Again just jeans/hand stropped, soap the last bits of my DIY My Father's Face #2. The head shave with the PAL/Schick Platinum NOS /Clubman gel (no soap) was magnificent, an order of magnitude smoother than anything yet tried.
