Razor: Vintage Weck Open Comb* (Thanks Obie)
Blade: Schick Plus Platinum*
Brush: Shavemac 2007 LE*
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Trumper Violet (Tallow Version)*
A/S: Yardley Spice*
I enjoyed an excellent shave with mostly discontinued items (marked with an *). The Weck Open comb is a mild shaver but it gave me a great 3 pass shave. The old tallow version of the Trumper soaps are excellent and it is a real shame that they felt the need to reformulate to a palm oil base. A splash of Yardley Spice and I am on my way.

Good afternoon. Monday AM:

I shaved so late yesterday all I needed was a one pass this morning, so I pushed the blade further than normal. Nice "shave".
