Brush: Some off brand badger
AS: Zihr Post Shave Lotion

** This was the "test drive" of one of my father's old razors that I recently cleaned the rust off of, polished, and honed. I was particularly anxious about honing this one as it has a smile and a warp. Much to my surprise, the honing went rather well. Though not quite as sharp as it will be later tonight, it took a very smooth edge, leaving no irritation. (...he said as he pat himself on the back.)

It is of course an old Burma Shave Cream Jar filled with mostly cast off "future" project straights. Unfortunately I do not as yet have the skills to restore razors so they end up being decorating accents for the bathroom!
