Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney 3/2 Faux Horn Finest (24/54)
Penhaligon's Lords shaving cream (vintage)
Wolfman WR1-SB Polished/UFO Colibri
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (5)
Penhaligon's Lords aftershave (vintage)

This brush is sort of midway between its faux ivory (softer) and ebony (firmer) siblings in terms of backbone. The Lords software is wonderful, always a favorite.

Acqua di Parma Colonia shaving cream (original)
