Woods of Windsor shaving soap (vintage) in a Wedgwood bowl. A brief side story: just before WWII, when the two Wedgwood brothers flipped a coin to see which of them would inherit the mantle of running the family fine china business, the one who lost the coin flip came to American, where he was one of my father's roommates at Harvard. Subsequently he became a doctor and a leading researcher in pediatric immunology. When I decided at age 32 to return to college to become a doctor, I worked part-time in Dr. Wedgwood's lab while doing premed studies, and when I eventually became a pediatric immunologist myself, he was one of my mentors.
The soap is a very fine one, with excellent lather and wonderful skin care.

Great post! I wonder if Dr. Wedgewood figures he won or lost the coin toss?

Actually, he told me one time that he thought he ended up where he belonged, because he had a mind that was good for research but not suited to business.
