Sunday SOTN
No more new items from the PIF box.

prep - shower with Caprina Fresh Goats Milk Soap "Original" bar
razor - Canadian Pre-War Fat-Handle Tech
blade - Shaverboy Stainless Steel (17)
soap - RazoRock "Tobacco #1"
brush - vintage "Barbershop" branded handle with APShaveCo Tuxedo knot
post - warm water rinse, "Pure & Natural" Alum stick, cold water rinse
AS - Chatillon Lux "Pure Lavender"
music - unknown FM radio station playing recordings from a '60s blues festival.

Yet another DFS. Maybe even a BBS.
That Chatillon Lux splash leaves a nicer post feel than I remember. :-k

Nice! That bottle of Cuir de Russie makes me a bit envious. ;) The prices for it on Ebay has really gotten crazy.
Last I heard you had to turn up in person in Paris to buy it.

I think it's discontinued all together now, or "vaulted" as Creed calls it.

That's a damn shame. The subtle combination of leather and birch is a delight.
