After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Saville Row badger (old 205)
1958 Toggle/Iridium
The Soap Opera Himalaya SS
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Miller Harris 'Feuilles de Tabac' EdT

My semi annual drive with the Toggle. Yeah, once in a great while it'll call to me, and that's what happened this morning. Heh, much as I try to love this thing, it's just not a great fit. There's a bunch of things in this design I don't care for, but it's still fun to use this razor sometimes.

First time wearing this scent, and I know it's a good one for me. A small decant was included in a recent purchase of mine, and I was glad to see that stuff. This was a frag I'd wanted to sniff for a while now, and that particular monkey's finally off my back. Reminds me a bit of Aramis 'Havana', which I wear fairly often.

BBS results,

Martin

Allen & Son 5/8
Ever Ready 1912 & Gem
Palmolive
Omega 81052
Alum
Oldspice whitewater

Very nice. The Ever Ready was used to get the odd hairs on my neck which grow in the wrong direction to be easily got by a straight. The Allen & Son was freshly honed on my new coticule and sharp enough, but I shall work to improve on that.

A fresh Feather, an extra day's stubble and a Futur dialled up to the max makes for one of THE best shaves. Two passes + small touch-up = smooth as a baby's backside & not a nick in sight. Bliss!
