Mid-afternoon shower 'n shave:
Pre: Hot shower
Strop: Illinois 127, 20x linen; 60x leather
Soap: Proraso/Bigelow
Brush: Unknown badger
Razor: (Brace yourselves)... Gold Dollar 200, fresh off the hones
Post: Lucky Tiger, Pinaud Clubman
The GD took a very good edge on the hones; silent slicer on the HHT. Decent shaver, actually. Not sure how long the edge will last. I probably won't shave with it often (or maybe ever) again. Might be a good training razor for my son.
Humorous footnote: I rubbed an alcohol-soaked cotton square over the blade to give it a token "sterilization" before shaving. The alcohol cleanly removed the entire "GOLD DOLLAR" brand imprint from the blade! LOL!
