The wake-up? A dot Indian screaming into my telephone. “I’m from Microsoft Windows and your computer has been hacked!!!!” The Day? <12F and sunny, only 30+ degrees below average for the day. The Shave? close and clean. The little “G-bar” is one of GEM’s finest!

Derby chaving cream (part of a prize)
West Shaving silvertip badger brush (part of a prize)
A Gillette four piece Dual Edge Safety Razor w Dorko ST 301 (all part of a prize)
