Happy Thursday!
Hot shower
Kropp Hamburg 5/8
Illinois 127 strop, 20x linen; 60x leather
MWF, whipped with Conk long-handle badger
Three indulgent passes
Thought I grabbed the Brut to splash after, but it was something else. Stetson, I think. (That'll teach me to keep all of the a/s in unlabeled shaker bottles!)
This Kropp is one of the best shavers in my little collection. Silky BBS finish today.

He saw a lawyer killing a viper on a dunghill hard by his own stable; And the Devil smiled, for it put him in mind of Cain and his brother Abel.
