That's a nice bit of set dressing there, with the artfully applied water drops.
Or are you going to tell me it's Photoshopped?

Wednesday AM 2019-10-16 National Fossil Day

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Elite Razor Polo Speckled Amber Manchurian White (28/54), the closest thing to a fossil other than myself
Harrods by Floris shaving soap (tallow)
Paradigm II Titanium
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (5)
Col. Conk Almond aftershave balm

National Fossil Day reminds me of spending weekends in the 1950s with my grandparents, who lived across the street from the L.A. County Museum of Natural History where my grandpa was a security guard. He let me into the museum on Sundays when it was closed, so that I could sit and sketch the fossilized skeletons of the woolly mammoth and sabre-toothed cats. And he always shaved with his 1940s Super Speed before we walked over there.

Tuesday SOTN
  • razor - Canadian Pre-War Fat-handle Tech
  • blade - Astra SS (30 - and done)
  • soap - Proraso Red + 4 drops of glycerin
  • brush - Stirling 2-Band Synthetic
  • post - warm water rinse, "Pure & Natural" Alum stick, cold water rinse
  • AS - Proraso Red
  • music - streaming Radio Caprice Darkwave
Wednesday SOTN
  • razor - Edwin Jagger DE87
  • blade - Astra SP (new - which is a bit of a treat)
  • soap - Williams Mug + 4 drops of glycerin
  • brush - 24 mm SynBad
  • post - warm water rinse, "Pure & Natural" Alum stick, cold water rinse
  • AS - Chatillon Lux Pure Lavender
  • music - streaming エフエムポートウェイブ
I have no idea what they were talkng about on エフエムポートウェイブ, because I can only understand maybe 1 word out of 50. "Arigato gozaimasu", "ne", "Ohayo!", "ano...", "onegaishimasu", "honto ni?" etc.
It appears to be a generic morning show for Yokkaichi. Altogether too lively conversation and music.
