Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Elite Razor Reclaimed Poplar Manchurian White 2-Band (24mm/50mm)
Floris No. 89 shaving soap (tallow) + Floris No. 89 shaving cream
Feather AS-D2/UFO Tornado
Polsilver Iridium Super (6)
Floris No. 89 aftershave (vintage)
A great shave this morning, with my favorite software. After two months, I'm finally able to shave over the area of my surgical scar without any nicks, which is a real relief. And although I'm leaning toward lighter weight razor handles, the Tornado felt very comfortable in my hand. I'm smooth and smelling good for brunch with our daughter and her husband at Cheesecake Factory, and we'll bring a couple big slices of cheesecake home for a snack with our DVD movie tonight.
