Razor: Henckels Friodur, custom scales by John Cole
Brush: Homemade long handle - Brazilian Ebony
Soap: Dr. Harris Marlborough
AS: Old Spice
Notes: The razor just arrived in the mail today. I couldn't wait to shave with it. I was not disappointed. The Friodur provided a smooth shave, and the custom scales provided a whole new level of satisfaction to the shaving experience.
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
