October 10.
The last scary soap I have in my arsenal is NGT by Nougat of London. It is a hard soap much the same as Wilkinson Blue Bowl. It is slick enough, but takes much work to get decent lather, much more work than modern Williams. Sorry people no lather pics today.
EverReady 1912 / Gem PTFE (4)
NGT Cedarwood & Grapefruit soap
NGT Pure Badger Brush
NGT ASB
Pinaud Clubman

Normally don't shave on Friday, so I guess there's one benefit to staying home sick.

I try my best most weeks, but I get home around 8am Friday, and I'm back to the office in the afternoon for 2:30. Not a lot of time to play with, and it's a 45 minute commute each way. Such is life.

Grazie Celestino
