• Brush: Omega Pro 49, red handle (10049)
• Razor: Gillette thin cap old type
• Blade: Topaz Platinum (70)
• Lather: Black Ship Grooming - Two Bits
• Post shave: Dr. Jon's - Runaway
• Fragrance: Talent Soap Factory - Wolf Mother

Oh, man, we're more than halfway through the Games already? Where did the first half of the month go? It's also my third day here without electricity. They claim they're still working on it, but my side of the street may be at the bottom of the priority list.

So if the name of today's theme is "shave and a haircut," including the folloup "two bits," what better soap for today's theme than the one actually named "Two Bits?" It's another use from an old sample tub, and... not a favorite barbershop scent of mine. I have another Black Ship sample I should get out after the Games are over. The soap is great, and I even got a better shave with this blade than I did yesterday, maybe even with a little less cleanup?

I don't have a barbershop splash, so instead I picked one from another company which produced only vegan soaps, Dr. Jon's. Runaway has an interesting mix of notes; the cherry on top is unexpected. I decided to follow this with a perfume from another company which produces vegan soaps, Talent Soap Factory's Wolf Mother.
