Aura Glow as a Pre Shave Oil
Palmolive Shave Cream
Semogue #830
Weyersberg Corneta 078 1/2
Tony Miller strop 35 Linen/60 Leather
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Nivea AS Balm
Lucky Tiger Aspen AS

The Corneta is one of the best shavers I've got, and super smooth to boot... It's always a pleasure!

When the hot weather hit's like this, I try to think cool thoughts, so here's another from Robert Service.. from "The Men that Don't Fit In"

There's a race of men that don't fit in,
A race that can't stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
And they roam the world at will.
They range the field and they rove the flood,
And they climb the mountain's crest;
Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood,
And they don't know how to rest.

Nice looking shave kit Tom! Is the Florena SC and ASB a German manufacturer? I've never seen it before.

Boker Red Injun 102/1912 Gem Jr. (Fat Handle) for the dome
Semogue 2000
Nana June's Citrus Wake Up
Osage Rub
Pinaud Lime Sec

This is likely the first time I've mug lathered Nana June's. It does well being face lathered but the mug just seemed to kick it up to notches unknown. I had enough lather for 3 passes on my dome, 2 passes on my face and still plenty left over for a post shave face wash. It smells fantastic too.
