Razor: 1964 Gillette Slim Adjustable
Brush: Muhle Silvertip Badger
Blade: Polsilver Super iridium
Soap: A&E New York

A bit of a belated post, however this was probably the most important shave of my life!

On the last day of my final two day board (test) to join the Royal Navy as an officer.

I tried to minimise what I brought, however wanted a great shave at the same time.

I found the whole process of the shave very calming, and gave me a few minutes of respite (at 0530 with no sleep) before the tests ahead.
