Yesterday (Thurs)...didn't have time post
Soap - Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood
Brush - RazoRock Plissoft 24mm
Face lather
Razor - Gillette Aristocrat 1946-47
Blade - Gillette Nacet #2
Post - Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera witch hazel
EdT - Encre Noire

The Gillette has a nice weight to it and works well with a Nacet (great blades). Nice protection and glide frpm the TOBS.

The heavy, resinous vetiver in EN is ideal for the colder weather. Like damp pine needles on a smouldering fire. Gothic.
Great juice.

Love the handle.
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Been on the road doing some business in Chicago the last four weeks with another ten days before heading home to Colorado, and only brought two brushes and a few vintage Coates creams with a couple different blades for the adjustable injector and 1958 Executive and that's it! Great shaves every time.

BBS results,

Martin
 
Love that mug, DB!

Excellent picture with an outstanding shave mug.


Thanks :) it might be old and worn but that doesn't prevent it from performing its mug-duties! Which, granted, aren't exactly overly complicated :)
Its good to put old things back to use.

That sentence could also be used as a tag line on a dating service for senior citizens.
