Tuesday:
One of those "stars were in line" shaves today. Near perfection:
Razor: Late 40s type Gillette SS
Blade: Derby
Soap: D.R. Harris Arlington
I often use this line-up, but today was just better than usual. I just cleaned my badger brush last night for the first time with Borax, so maybe that was the magic factor. Dunno. But -- MAN -- what a great shave today!

PS : In the pic I quickly tried to represent the great features and good-looks of the average wet shaver , but clearly failed. I was gonna use a bit of tomato ketchup to make it look more realistic but the wife will kill me if I stain the carpet !
