Your CC copper bowl looks outstanding all polished up like that. Do you apply some sort of protectant, or do you just keep it buffed?

S.O.T.D - Monday, August 30, 2021
Pre-shave:- PAA Tube 2.0
Bowl/Scuttle:- Roger Quintero 3D Printed
Brush:- AP Shave Co. Winter Hulk
Soap/Cream:- Boelis Panama 1924

[Pygmalion]

And for today:

Gillette Aristocrat #22
BiC Chrome Platinum/Rapira Swede
Whipped Dog Butterscotch 30mm 2-band
GFT Coconut Soap (NOS)
Taylor’s Tobacco Leaf AS
Comfrey Ointment

There are two blades listed above for a reason. MATRON! Please take the BiCs away - they are very naughty indeed.

Hmph! More than a tad rough with their sharpness but all’s mostly well after swapping out for a Rappy-Roo.

The healing aftershave and smidgen of comfrey oil which one uses for one’s southernmost, ineffective appendages is, as many of you will know, rich in allantoin, that soothing wonder. I’m not sure it will be able to regenerate my entire top lip but Matron says I must have patience, whatever that is.

All aboard!

PS I’m not allowed out to play tomorrow so I’ll see you all for more shave related tomfoolery on the day of Wednes.
