Up way too late working followed by getting up way too darn early this morning made me a not so happy guy. The Jabonman minty lime scent certainly helped the mood, and the Mk32 left me smiling. Back to the office to continue the grind...

FRIDAY
Hot shower prep
Razor: MERKUR
Blade: Personna lab/Medical
Soap: ARCO STICK
Brush: Barbershop"Austrian boar"
Splash:#4711
I do not know the date of this open comb beauty rescued from my to-do box. From the poor plating and rough internal finish; I would guess war time or post war recovery era in Germany. A bit of TLC and polish made her ready for the day. It appears non-aggressive, but is a razor that cuts very close. The ARCO performed and I have smooth face. A Personna Medical blade did the deed in two.
The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!
