Hot shower

My Gillette SS razor ( inherited from my dad)
My favorite el cheapo made in China brush. It claims to be boar bristle, but I don't know. It works great!
Williams soap
Mama Bears Lavender & Rose Summer Aftershave.
I think I reached a new level in shaving! BBS shave! This may be my setup for the coming week.

PS: I got that soap mug on ebay. It was sold as a shaving mug but looks more like something you would keep on an office desk to put pens and paperclips in. Works great though!
