I decided that the Friday-shave photo will be my chance to play a bit with the image — thus the above. The brush is a 22mm synthetic from Maggard Razors, and I used Art of Shaving Sandalwood, which seems to be a triple-milled soap (made, I hear, by Valobra) whose fragrance is much more robust than that of Geo. F. Trumper’s Sandalwood. The lather was excellent, and the Fendrihan Mk II — a first-rate stainless steel razor at a reasonable price — did a fine job. A splash of Mickey Lee’s Italian Stallion aftershave milk finished the job, and we’re almost now at the weekend and February.
