A pounding headache meant I wasn't in the humour for using a straight razor today. The Merkur stepped in for a nice quick two pass shave.

The vintage Ever-Ready is a super soft paintbrush and is a great one for soft soaps and creams.The fun of trying things makes the day go a bit better and quicker!~Richard

The razor, amazing as always.
