Birthday shave. So I grabbed a special selection.

May I enquire as to the razor?

15 December
Gold Dollar 66, French point, with thumb notch, dressed in Queensland black bean timber scales. A lovely razor to shave with, just that I don't like the feel of the heavily CA treated scales. Makes them feel like plastic.

Clark Newcastle. 1 of a pair (ivory) in a coramandel box. If you type in the maker and location into google the restoration will pop up on another forum.

Makes you look much older more mature.

Unfortunately that isn’t my real face, I will never expose myself in public.

Yesterday's evening shave:

Brush: Semogue SOC 24m Taj Resin Boar
Razor: Karve Overander SS
Blade: Mühle Rasurkultur
Lather: Barrister and Mann - Midnight Special
Post: Nivea Balm

Interesting scent, I think the description explains it well. I'm not sure if it is something @Gargravarr would approve of, though.

Never say never. B&M have made a good start by not including patchouli. It's true that I have not had a good run with their scents, but their soap bases are exceptional.
