[Mr_Smartepants]

Pre: RazoRock/HTGAM mentholated lime pre-shave soap
Soap: Stirling "Margaritas in the Arctic"
Brush: El Druida redwood handle, 26mm synthetic
Razor 1: J.A. Henckels "415" (Father's razor)
Razor 2: EJ DE89 with Ikon handle
Blade: Gillette "SharpEdge" (3)
Post: Thayer's Lemon witch hazel, followed by Captain's Choice Lime

Today is a hot/humid day. I needed some menthol/citrus action and these delivered in spades. Dad's razor is maintaining a silky smooth edge (thanks Jamie!) and cleared 2 days of stubble in a twinkle of an eye. Cleaned up with the DE89 & "yellow" blade for a fresh & cool BBS.
