May this “Hump Day” bring you cheering news

Griffin 43mm Razor, Griffin stropper, RazoRock original, no-name brush, gifted “Bay Rum”
The Day? Rain 4ºC /39ºF. The Shave? Great! My face enjoyed the old and the new. RR still is a favorite, and the old oversize Griffin is a whisker whacker from way back! The cup has been my shave bowl fro a long time. I keep my soaps in the original container or a mug for those I use often. I load the brush and use the bowl to make the lather the way I like it.

Today, a good shave with my wacker jung meister, do not know why I do not often pull him out of the closet.
