For some reason, this morning my vintage Gillette Aristocrat seemed particularly efficient and comfortable. Perhaps it was the prep. I found Dapper Dragon’s Terre du Dragon particularly mesmerizing today, and I do like that 22mm Maggard synthetic brush, so I spend a fair amount of time just brushing the lather around before I ever picked up the razor.
At any rate, the razor did a superb job, and the old-timey fragrance of TOBS No. 74 aftershave finished the shave very pleasantly, promising a fine weekend overall.
