Taylor of Old Bond Street sandalwood soap

Ever-Ready boar brush 

Ever-Ready 1912 razor

Gem coated stainless steel blade (3)

Mennen Skin Bracer Cooling Blue aftershave
The razor was designed around the time my house was built.  I imagine the original owner of my house shaving with one.
While the Micromatics are my favorite Gems, the 1912 offers a basic close and easy shave.
The finish is with the light clean scent of Cooling Blue.
