Monday AMMoss Anniversary Slate scuttle Homemade frankincense & myrrh preshave oil Somerset Simpson Beaufort 4 Pure brush House of Croydon shaving soap Gem Push Button razor Gem Stainless blade (6) Avon Tribute aftershave A good close shave. The H of C soap is about equivalent to HIS soap in its qualities, one step down from Wrisley's and a couple steps below Yardley. But I do like the Avon splash. And the Gem is good, pretty much like a Featherweight.
