A great start to a beautiful morning: bright sun, no clouds, light breezes, cool but short-sleeve temperature. Tallow + Steel makes very good and very interesting soaps and aftershaves, and Grog is a favorite among all my soaps. “Grog” in part because it’s a twist on Bay Rum, and the lather I got this morning with the Green Ray brush was luscious.
Three passes with the Rockwell did a superb job. I notice that the new Edwin Jagger 3ONE6 is $125, $25 more than the Rockwell 6S, and the 6S offers 6 baseplate options rather than one. I don’t see that the EJ razor is worth the price charged. But I may in time try it.
A splash of Grog aftershave, and the day is launched. My Temperfect mug is by my side, BTW, filled with delected Murchie’s No. 10 blend of tea. I do like that mug, and starting the day with a pint of good tea is a pleasure. I also like Murchie’s Storm Watcher and Harney & Sons’ Malachi McCormick.
