Awesome BBS shave this morning!! What a great way to start a new week!!

Monday, 5.17.10

Kell's Original Pre Shave Soap
Vintage Dubl Duck brush
Williams Shave Soap
Gabel 36 straight razor
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Pinaud Clubman

I use the old Dubl Duck brush from time to time for sentimental reasons.. It's the first brush I ever bought when I decided to whip my own lather 34 years ago.
I use Williams soap fairly often... Because I enjoy the fresh clean smell of unadulturated soap, and just because I can!
The Gabel 36 came off the hones yesterday, and it thoroughly lived up to it's reputation as a great shaver..
The Clubman?? What can I say... Always a favorit

e!

I think this is my first SOTD post without a straight and a picture, but straight shaving and chemotherapy is not exactly a match made in heaven and an expensive Nikon do not belong in a room where everything has to be wiped down with alcohol once a day (or I simply can't have everything from home at the hospital).
