Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: 1963 Gillette Slim Adjustable*
Blade: Astra Keramik*
Brush: Simfix Grosvenor LE Two Band*
Soap: Penhaligon’s Blenheim Bouquet (tallow formula)*
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel/G.F. Trumper Marlborough Splash*
My weekly nostalgia shave, using mostly items that are no longer in production (indicated by asterisks). My shave was great–these items may be out of production, but they are definitely not forgotten.

Razor: Cadet Mongoose TTO14
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium
Brush: Vie-Long Beehive Horse
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Scuttle: Moss Scuttle
A/S: Mr. Taylor
I forgot about the "Mourning" shave until it was too late and used all current production items. The Cadet Mongoose/Polsilver Super Iridium combo continues to impress and the Mr. Taylor splash remains a favorite

Homemade frankincense & myrrh preshave oil
Straight Razor Designs scuttle
Somerset Simpson Persian Jar 1 Best (20/45)
G.F. Trumper's Coconut Oil shaving cream (vintage)
Wilkinson Sticky
Wilkinson Sword (cryogenically tempered) (4)
Woods of Windsor aftershave balm (vintage)
An excellent shave. The PJ1 is a fine small brush, with very soft tips. The blade seems to have smoothed out somewhat.
