What's new

SE SOTD- What was your tool of choice today?

I returned to the vintage razor that started it all for me - my grandpa's 1912. What's not to like? It does everything well. :thumbup1:

Damn it! Moving my dish of alum onto the side my ceramic dishes Mitchell's went straight onto the floor. Lid smashed and the base cracked. I rescued the well hydrated puck into a vintage bakelite Dubarry Shaving Soap dish. I'll put a new ceramic dish on the wish list.

Feeling glum, I found an uplifting attar to raise my spirits.

Ajmal Arabian Musk - a mukhallat with floral notes of geranium, jasmine and ylang ylang, spiced with clove and nutmeg on a base of patchouli, cedar and musk.
 
Today's shave was the maiden voyage of a duplicate I acquired - a Schick WWII Navy issued E3. Great shave - it won't dethrone the mighty E2 but it comes close. And I can't help but wonder about the experience of the first owner. :thumbup1:
