Cold Water Shave
Fruit of the Earth 100% Aloe Vera
WCS Synthetic
Proraso Red
Ever Ready 1912
GEM PTFE (3)
Thayer's Original Witch Hazel

The GEM blade is much smoother after a few shaves. Close comfortable shave today and no irritation. Cold water shaving with a rigid blade has made such a difference.

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney 2/1 Ivory Finest (22/56)
XPEC Unscented shaving cream (first version)/Bulgarian Rose EdP
Weber DLC/Bulldog
Polsilver Super Iridium (7)
Floris Santal aftershave
Floris Rose Geranium EdT (vintage)

The scent of rose brings back memories of being a kid and walking through Los Angeles Exposition Park rose gardens with my grandfather on Sundays to the natural history museum where he was a guard, and he would unlock the doors and let me wander around the empty museum by myself, looking at dinosaur skeletons, display cases of beetles and butterflies, wrapped Egyptian mummies, and other wondrous things. I was a very lucky kid.
