Soap Arko Stick
Brush Yaqi 26mm Rainbow
Razor Ribbon 1000 1st Use - Thanks to @RussellR5555 !!
Aftershave Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Aqua Velva Musk
Good lather as usual from the soap!
The razor is a beauty! The shave was good and smooth in 3 passes but somehow my techniques didn't do the razor any justice. Managed a sas finished. The edge felt smooth and it is nicely finished on an Ozuku by Russell. Gotta use this more.

Antoni Tadross. Still on the fence with this razor. Zero irritation on 2.5 passes but it could be sharper.

Ask me about shaving naked!
YW sir, glad to help - I’m still feeling these stones out myself. That Bartmann is lovely, I’m going to have to get mine out.
6/8 Brookes and Crookes, a really nice old Sheffield with nice hard steel, cast steel I suspect. Soap was the discontinued Savonnerie du bon Berger lavande orange, it’s almost all orange, the lavender is very faint. The brush was a Keyhole 3 and the AS Myrsol Limon.

Razor: 120 Gotta
Brush: Edwin Jagger Best Badger
Soap: Mystic Water Tea Tree Plus with a few drops of Glycerin added
Aftersplash: Lucky Tiger
Very interesting shave today. This Gotta had been waiting in the wings for quite a while and I was considering selling it. I just never got around to using it. Honed on a JNAT, it tested out at HHT 4/5 root in. Today's shave surpassed all expectations! Now it's a keeper. The razor is in near pristine condition and triple pinned. The original coffin is worn but has done its job well. The gold etching is completely intact, but does not show well in the photo. It is etched, "THE HAMBURG RING, GOTTA, SUPERFINE". I could actually hear it "ring" on some passes. The shave was very smooth and comfortable; not a hint of a tug anywhere. My price was USD 31.

Tiffany brush
So today’s star was the brush. This was a gift from my wife about 20 years ago and my first shaving brush. I used for a few years, then the knot fell out. I didn’t know how to repair and put the pieces aside. After joining B&B last year it occurred to me to look for the pieces. Eventually I found them and after heavy use of Flitz on the handle I glued back together yesterday and used it for the first time in ~17 years. I was worried about the condition of the knot, but damn that felt nice!

My Palmolive stick is in a very decorative Resinol tube. I'm not sure I'll ever own a stick that will fit in my Colgate tube, unless I make it myself.
I shaved early this morning, one pass for a high grade SAS then drove off to make it on time to an appointment.
Rasoir Sabre France, Drakkar 6/8"
Lea Mentolada cream, hand lathered in a hurry
A string of days over 100F started today, so I'm thinking cold thoughts - skiing, Christmas, holly.
