I have already taken Fridays shot, humm is that cheating :(
 
Pre-Shave: Hot shower
Brush: 24mm Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger
Razor: 7/8" Giesen & Forsthoff Decorated back, Full Hollow Ground, Spike Point
Strop: 40/60 laps (Torolf linen / SRD Premium IV leather)
Überlather: Floris № 89 Shave Creme + Floris № 89 Shave Soap + Glycerin
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel (Rose Petal, no alcohol)
Moisturizer: Trumper's Fragrance-free Moisturizer
After Shave Splash: Truefitt & Hill "Spanish Leather" AS
After Shave Balm: Truefitt & Hill "Trafalgar" ASB
Results: It is rather hard to beat a shave with the M&M, but I consider today's pretty darn good:cool:. The lather from the Floris was bountiful and fabulous :tu. Love the scent of № 89. Riddled in a mix of [bergamot, lavender, neroli, nutmeg, orange, petitgrain, geranium, rose, ylang ylang, cedarwood, musk, oakmoss, sandalwood, and vetiver], this English soap doesn't receive the praise it deserves and it certainly knows no bounds when it comes to quality. It couples perfectly with the Morris & Forndran brush. The G&F had an easy time today; not a lot of whiskers to clean up considering yesterday's wonderful shave with my M&M. Nevertheless, I went all out and feel BBS and super smooth. Happy face = Happy me :y.

Have an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING Wednesday gentlemen:tu. My thoughts are with the folks living in tornado stricken areas of the US.
