SOTD -- August 27 - September 2
Tuesday Night:
Gillette Aristocrat razor (1947)
Dorco blade
Omega small pure badger brush
Tryphon Lime EO shaving soap
Thayer's Original Witch Hazel
A close shave, of course, with the Aristocrat.
This new little Omega brush has a handle made out of some of the most beautiful material I have ever seen on a brush. It has the perfectly sized brushhead for loading from a cake of soap, and like my other two pure badger brushes, it whips up a denser lather than I am able to do with my silvertip brushes.

Sabrooney finest 1/2
Acqua di Parma "cream"
Lucky Tiger Tonic

I used long, careful strokes, today, and never went over an area with no lather remaining on it. Gave myself the crappiest shave I've had in ages.

Give us the luxuries, and we will forgo the necessities.
Give a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day.
Set a man on fire, he'll be toasty for the rest of his life.
