Brush: Truefitt & Hill Wellington 24mm Silvertip
Razor: Gillette Tech English Flat Bottom
Blade: Personna Platinum (7)
Lather: Truefitt & Hill - Grafton - Cream
Post Shave: Unilever - Brut - Aftershave
Post Shave: Thayers - Lemon - Toner
Fragrance: Floris of London - JF - Eau de Toilette
Talc: Yardley Classic

Not a lot to say. I enjoy this Grafton scent, but rarely use this cream. The brush and this cream were part of a gift set that I received long ago. The razor is another gift (from u/VisceralWatch) that I really should use more often. These little FBTs are terrific shavers.

Here are some photos of my collection of shaving stuff.

I have one of those from The VisceralWatch Store too. It took me a while to figure out you can screw the handle back on itself for storage!

  Yeah, I got it by just fiddling with it when wondering why it was so small. But I made a flippant comment on how well the razor worked given its small handle when I published this photo knowing that I had this photo in the bag for the next day. VW was very concerned that I had used the razor with the handle collapsed :)

Oh, do dessication bags in not-airtight drawers work for a significant amount of time? Or can those be reactivated?

I never thought about those options

  I’m operating under the assumption that they are better than nothing. I bought them in volume (🙄) and replace them about once per month. It helps that my collection o’ stuff is way from the WCs in the house.

    This would be very easy for me to do. I have a bunch of digital humidity and temperature meters that I bought for building my own tupperdors for my cigar collection. But, alas, I spend my time dealing with YouTube comments on why abrasives work the way they do. To some, this is just complete voodoo, and yet it is so important, it has been studied to death. Clearly, I need to revisit my “don’t plan, just push the button then start talking” approach :)
