Prep face wash L'Occitane vetiver soap
Razor Filarmonica 13 Doble Temple 13/16
Strop Kanayama cordovan #8000
Brush Rooney Heritage stubby 2
Mondial bergamot & neroli Italian soap
Alum & Thayers toner
Kiehl's aftershave balm

This NOS Filarmonica 13 Doble Temple 13/16 landed on my doorstep a few days ago, with the original factory edge box and grease covered blade, well all I did was clean the grease off and gave it a light hone and stropping, a very good shave and no less than I expected.

Maybe we get again more than 100 F today.
It is the right temperature to go to a pool like the Furnace Creek Ranch has one. Hot Springs are using for the pool...

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: New Forest 2201
Razor: Alexander Coppel, Solingen
Soap: Nannys French Lavender
AS: Proraso
Edt: Penhaligon's Castile
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
This brush's all you really need and I always bring it for the holidays, which starts tomorrow in Barcelona. So today a medly from the week (that I never got around to post). This razor took a really nice bevel, but was a bit "raw" (early in the week)...
... but it only needed a good stropping (aorund 100 laps wasn't enough) and this shave was truly wonderful and it now performs like the very best Solingen razors out there:
I had a two day stubble and I brought out one of the heavy guys, my C V Heljestrand no 9 ½, with a ½ to 1/4 grind. The Windsor cream truly has the loveliest scent (cheers to MR Magnus for the cream!):

Bull dog razor
Proraso white
A old boar brush
And lots of cold water.
By the first test shave he was not yet completely sharp, but after the second time he gave a good shave.
