    Default If I Were To Choose

    Ladies and gentlemen:

    If I were to choose . . .

    I would choose the Filarmonica 13 Doble Temple square point . . .

    Straight Razor Design's 3" English Bridal Strop . . .

    Heinrich L. Thater's 24 mm. silver tip brush . . .

    Geo F. Trumper's Rose Shave Cream . . .

    John Allen's Slick Water Pre-shave . . .

    Straight Razor Design's Mother Earth Lather Bowl . . .

    Sitting atop the classic-style pewter shave mug filled with hot water . . .

    A healthy sweep of alum block . . .

    A refreshing splash of cold water . . .

    Spiked with a brush of an ice cube . . .

    Followed by a modest touch of Trumper's Coral Skin Food . . .

    And a gentle slap from Trumper's Spanish Leather aftershave . . .

    Ah, but it's only 3 a.m., with 3:45 hours to go . . .

    Regards,
    Obie

    Obie,

    Hmmm. This sounds to vivid to be just from imagination. I take it you have partaken of this recipe you speak of?

    Also, that sounds like a mighty fine shave.

    My dear David:

    Oh, yes, indeed. Once in a while imagination kicks in at 3 a.m. and reality a little later.

    Hello, Zib:

    Thanks for the compliment.

    Oh, yes. Truefitt & Hill's Rose is lovely. Thanks for reminding me: I'll use it tomorrow morning.
