Friday morning good go getter.

My shave today - all new additions to my rotation, except the DE and blade. I've had the TGQ sample for ages, but haven't used it due to having no container for it, and having got poor lather from other TGQ soaps, a problem that was solved by using a stiffer brush.

Soap: TGQ Bay Rum & Sweet Orange, freshly melted into a very cheap Pyrex bowl with red plastic lid ($2ea - I bought 9)
Brush: The Body Shop Synthetic Shave Brush (soon to be returned to the shop due to issues with the finish round the knot)
Razor: EJ 89 DE with Astra blade
AS: Cusson's Imperial Leather (a steal at $12NZ, and after smelling it I had to add to the lineup - gorgeous scent indeed)
