Tuesday
Razor: Dovo Best Quality 6/8
Brush: Omega boar
Soap: Tabac
Toner: Booster Bay Rum
A/S: Master Topaz
Rushed morning trying to get out in time to make 8 AM dentist appointment with daughter. Shave was decent, but some stubble left on right side near the jaw that I didn't know I'd missed until 30 or so minutes after the shave after the skin had settled down.

The shave cream was the last teeny bit left over from the Atlanta/SE Region Meetup over the weekend. Apparently, the gang really liked S&D!
I had to get whatever I could get out of the tubs... :cry:

Another Thiers-Issard
Wednesday, they tell me…
Yet it feels like Monday, or even a day very similar to Monday but not actually Monday. A day where you’re mad at the world and everything in it, a day when Pink Floyd songs ring true; songs about machines, running over the same old ground, soft middle age; songs about NOT being part of the machine, but BEING part of the machine nevertheless. That’s the sort of Monday it was, and a nick portended the gloom…
The Schulze Wiener Schaber was a fiddly little delight. The Arko was a urinal scented little delight. The Truefitt and Hill Trafalgar lent dignity to that which would have otherwise been a vulgar conflict and the Burberry Eau de Toilette lent a contemporary touch.
All in all a rushed shave for at 06:30Hrs, Greenwich Mean Time +9.5 I was purchasing a nice De Pews work of art; which left less time for the shave. Maybe some of you have seen it on the forum. I was told I need a wedge, and that monkey tail is just outrageous. I intend to retain almost all of the patina and try and polish by hand the original scales with bees’ wax or something (advice? I think they're horn). That razor has given me a few restless nights of late and I haven’t even MET it yet!
I believe I may have coveted, but it’s not like it’s a man’s wife or manservant or anything. One needs SOME kind of stimuli…

Wednesday
Razor: Merkur Alu
Blade: Astra
Brush: Altesse badger
Soap: Ogallala Bay Rum Sage & Cedar
Toner: witch hazel
A/S: Old Spice
Posting early because I'm up early. Decided to post a picture of the Merkur Alu, which is a 3-piece razor that is essentially a Merkur HD with a really fat aluminum handle (only slightly longer than an HD, and a bit heavier). This is a great razor when my hand is bothering me, or when I just want a change of pace.
