•Taylor of Old Bond Street Lavender soap
•Ever-Ready 200M boar brush
•iKon open comb razor
•Shark Super Chrome blade (5)
•Mennen Skin Bracer 

It has been over a month since I have used the iKon open comb.  I abandoned it for the slant.  This razor provides an easy and comfortable shave.  Aided by TOBS Lavender and finished with Skin Bracer.  What a way to start the day.

•Tabac soap
•Ever-Ready boar brush
•Gillette One Piece Tech Milord razor
•Gillette Silver Blue blade (5)
•Pinaud Clubman Club Royale aftershave

Again with that 1940 Milord. I have never had a better shave. I used the diagonal pattern recommended by Gillette. It produced an amazingly close shave.

Tabac is the most amazing soap. A unique scent and lather that is unstoppable.

The Club Royale is strong enough to stand up to the Tabac scent.

My well worn Milord has earned a place in my permanent rotation (that is if I use any other razor again).

Back to the Gillette one piece Tech Razor, Milord model, as Gillette called it.

My razor has seen prettier days, but it still shaves like new.

TOBS Lavender and Clubman Classic Vanilla on the start and finish.
