Razor: Schick Injector
Blade: Schick
Brush: Vie-Long Mixed Beehive
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Cream: Tabula Rasa Dark Lavender
Scuttle: Ladysea Two-Piece Scuttle
A/S: Alt Innsbruck
I have been on a bit of an injector kick lately and the shaves have been so nice, it will likely be a regular part of my rotation. The Mixed Beehive brush did a great job. The first few uses of the brush were underwhelming but it is getting broken in and performing great now. A splash of Alt Innsbruck and I am ready for the day.

All American kit for a Fourth of July Shave
Razor: Weber ARC with Bulldog handle
Blade: Personna Prep ("For Hospital Use")
Brush: Ever-Ready 300PBT "Pure Badger"
Soap: Williams Mug Soap from the 1980s
Aftershave: Thayer's Peach Witch Hazel
I thought I would try out this old puck of Williams Mug Soap as a nod to tradition, but I got miserable lather, which offered no glide or protection, and I can feel some razor burn that, fortunately, isn't visible. Next time, I'll use an American artisan soap, as we really have some decent choices out there.

Speick shaving cream

3+ unsatisfactory passes and there were still rough spots. Will now toss the blade, clean up the razor and put it on the shelf. Tomorrow I'm going back to a vintage Gillette, blade as yet undetermined.
Finished the bottle of Pinaud Bay Rum with a generous, non-burning, splash.
