Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: 1956 Red Tip Superspeed
Blade: Astra Keramik
Brush: Simfix Grosvenor LE Two Band
Cream: Body Shop (old formula)
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel/Wesley & Scott Clove and Peppermint Balm
A really nice shave this morning, from start to finish. The clove and peppermint balm sounds horrible, but is actually quite good–not too much clove, not too much peppermint, and a touch of menthol. Very refreshing.

Shave Secret preshave oil
Dirty Bird 1.5 scuttle
Somerset Simpson Chubby 2 Super (27/50)
Floris No. 89 shaving soap (vintage)
Schick Krona
Gillette Platinum Plus (2)
Floris No. 89 aftershave balm (vintage)
A great shave. The No. 89 is a wonderful soap, and its matching balm has a sort of peppery bite, followed by coolness, which is always a little bit of a shock. I like it.
