This morning:
Prep: Face wash, Imperial Leather bath soap, cold water
Razor: Joseph Rodgers "The Favorite", restored by Jamie
Brush: Simpson Commodore X3 in Best
Soap: Prof Blighty's Rosewood
Aftershave: Prof Blighty's Rosewood
Scent: Trumper's Sandalwood
Another very comfortable shave. I can see myself moving to a pattern of using trad straights at the weekends, for a change and to rest my skin, and the feather for working days for the extra closeness. Of course, I may be able to learn to get closer with time.
I think the cold water shaves are here at least until late autumn... but we'll see.
