My sister came home from Spain yesterday and she brought me this:
I didn't ask her to buy me anything so I think I'm still in.
I'll try it next week.

Day 28, 93.3% complete
Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Palmolive Stick, made into a puck
Brush: Yaqi 24mm synthetic cashmere
Razor: GC.84 SB, Al Handle, Astra SP #7
Bowl: Turkish copper
Post-shave: Nivea Balm
Palmolive day again. I got the usual excellent lather — having soft water probably helps. Planed the top off some sort of insect bump, but apart from that, a fine near-BBS shave.
This blade ought to see the month out, it's still OK.

Razor: Mr. Blonde (F. W. Engels)
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat (Tallow)
Brush: Parker Boar
AS: AV Classic Ice Blue
That MWF ceramic container is slippery! Almost dropped it twice. I think I am going to wrap a rubber band around the base or something.

I'm out. A seller on eBay offered me these at a very nice price, and the time period didn't extend to the end of the month.
