Now half as wise
Today's shave was very special in more than one way. For Christmas last year, my Mother gave me the straight razor that had belonged to my great grandfather. I have had his mug and remnants of his brush for several years, so this completed the picture. I asked mycarver to restore the razor, but he also worked his magic on the brush. I have no idea what kind of soap or aftershave he used, but I made choices that he could have used. He died in 1938, but these products had been around for some time by then.

The background is a framed shipping label that he used when he shipped his produce out by rail.
