Monday AM

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Homemade frankincense & myrrh preshave oil
Somerset Simpson Beaufort 4 Pure brush
House of Croydon shaving soap
Gem Push Button razor
Gem Stainless blade (6)
Avon Tribute aftershave

A good close shave. The H of C soap is about equivalent to HIS soap in its qualities, one step down from Wrisley's and a couple steps below Yardley. But I do like the Avon splash. And the Gem is good, pretty much like a Featherweight.
