Thanked: 7 First SOTD pic!
To be honest, this was done in a hurry----the pic doesn't show how nice the scales and inlay "Forty-four" polished up with MAAS! I don't think I'm exagerating when I say the scales and silver inlay polished up better than new with the Dremel buffing wheel and much MAAS and elbow grease.
And actually, I confess I didn't use this brush today---I used my AOS black-handled brush, but it wouldn't show up as nice on a dark background. I'll try to include the rest of the items in future SOTD's!
Razor: HESS "44"
Brush: Art of Shaving
Cream: AOS Unscented
Drugstore generic witchhazel (love it!)
Pinaud Clubman (I store it in an old glass AV bottle with the label removed) which I cut about 40% with WH right in the bottle to calm it down a bit----works great.

Number 4 of seven and three more to go.
It's strange shaving with the 'same' blade several times in a row but I can see the advantage. Another great shave this time with CarrieM's home made shave cream.

Thursday morning
* Paul Kohl's "The Fisher" ("for Quality"), 11/16 very hollow grind
* Taylor's Eton College Cream
* KoS Alphaoil for ATG
* Taylor's pure badger brush 660P medium
* Nivea Balm
* Eau d'Orange Verte
The Fisher is a new horse in my stable. I honed it this morning and it is a stellar shaver in the same league as Otto Deutsch.
