Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: 1948-50 Gillette Superspeed
Blade: Astra Keramik
Brush: Simfix Grosvenor LE Two Band
Soap: Vintage Old Spice
A/S: Dickinson’s Witch Hazel/Wesley & Scott Lavender Balm
A very fine shave with mostly items that are no longer in production. The razor is the oldest item in this morning’s shave, followed by the soap. The Superspeed, paired with a good blade, is a formidable whisker whacker. I tend to prefer longer handled modern razors today, but enjoy being reminded that a lot of the old stuff was (and still is) darned good.

This is the day I get to use my newly acquired Koh-I-Noor SC68 boar brush with the aluminum handle. Many thanks to Eric in Oregon for selling it to me.
SRD Opus X soap
Koh-I-Noor boar brush
Barbasol razor
Personna blade
That's it.
