Saturday:
Razor: Gillette NEW w/fat Tech style handle
Blade: FEATHER
Brush: Burma-Shave natural bristle
Cream/Soap: C.O. Bigelow (Proraso green)/ Williams Mug
A/S: Mennen Original Skin Bracer
E/D/T: none

This Gillette NEW and the Feather make an excellent combination for me. The NEW has the straighter comb teeth and a fat Tech style handle, but I believe this all came together originally. So it has the look as a prototype for the early Techs.

Good morning. Saturday:
Aristocrat w/IP
SR 3824
Tryphon Violet cream
Blenheim Bouquet soap
Thayer's Lavender witch hazel
Harris Pink
Decided to give the Tryphon another try as it had been a while since the last use and I had re-read some old posts here and at another site regarding it. Two strokes with the razor was enough. Rinsed off, relathered with the Pen's. Oh, what a difference quality makes.
