Blade: GSB (2)
Soap: Shannon's Barbershop
Aftershave: Brut
Brush: Elite Kingman Turquoise / Manchurian

Thoughts: It's getting busy: mid-term exams, a tax filing, and a work visa application are on the plate. A machined Blackbird SB is incoming, acquired at a reasonable price - I am hopeful that we can become friends. Plus, a very special Wolfman WR1 may be descending on Evanston soon... truly thankful for James' generosity.

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney 3/2 Ivory Finest (24/58) (new brush)
Noxzema Sensitive shaving cream
Charcoal Goods Brass L1/Triad Aristocrat Copper
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (7)
Ralph Lauren Safari aftershave balm (vintage)

The cream required more water and more work than I had expected to produce lather. It had good cushion and excellent glide, and it left my skin soft and moisturized.

Philips Philite bottom plate much resembles the Fatip with its short guard span. Another fine match with the Yaqi DOC/Cooper handle.
