Wednesday AM 2018-03-21

Georgetown Pottery G20 scuttle (Hamada & Purple)
Rooney 3/2 Ivory Finest (24/58)
Martin de Candre shaving soap
Delta Echo Ink Edition Feather AS-D2/Triad Purple Aristocrat Titanium

Mennen Skin Bracer aftershave

An early effortless BBS shave this morning. And with the muddy lavender of the soap and cool blue aftershave, it felt very old-timey.

Friday AM 2018-03-23

Georgetown Pottery G20 scuttle (Hamada & Purple)
Rooney 3/2 Faux Horn Finest (24/54)
Floris Elite shaving soap (tallow)/Elite shaving cream (vintage)
RazoRock Mamba/UFO Titan Fine
Personna 74 Tungsten (9)
Floris Elite aftershave (vintage)

I've decided that using the soap and cream together to make a superlather is overkill. Each is excellent by itself, so I am going to alternate them instead.

Saturday AM 2018-03-24

Georgetown Pottery G12 scuttle (Green Oribe & Purple)
Rooney 3/3 Porcelain Finest (26/59)
Houbigant Fougère Royale shaving soap (vintage)
Delta Echo Black Chrome-Nickel Feather AS-D2/Triad Satin Aristocrat
Personna 74 Tungsten (10)
Houbigant Fougère Royale aftershave (vintage)

The porcelain brush has a little more density and backbone than my other 3/3 brushes, making it even better for the hard soap.
