It appears that your hometown choir has an old style Commonwealth of Virginia State flag eTom.

Congratulations to your choir. Hoping that they have a very successful visit and performance in the U. S.

Nice looking razor. Almost looks like an old Double Duck I use to own.

Tuesday
Hot water prep
My kit: Blasberg razor - TOBS sandalwood cream - generic silvertip badger brush
My colleague's kit: Ed Wusthof razor - Maca root cream - New Forest badger brush
Cold water splash - Thayer's rose Witch Hazel resplash
My after: T&H 1805 balm - LaLique White EdT
My colleague's after: L'Oreal Balm - Pinaud Clubman Bay Rum

So, another instruction day shave. A different colleague this time from work. He enjoyed the shave. We did a one pass WTG and that was fine with him. He struggled a bit with the neck and I didn't want to force anything, so he left that untouched. It's all good. A first time is just what it is, a first time. He did indicate though that he wants to take this a notch further, so I will get him a kit and he will be good to go soon. He opted for the bay rum, which was a good choice. He has a sensitive skin, so he felt the burn a bit, but it was okay in the end.

Johnny,

Thanks for the compliment. I got it on eBay. It was once owned by a barber.

Yes...It is reminiscent of the Dubl Ducks. I have a Goldedge that looks a lot like that Dovo.
