Somewhat Hung Over Morning Shave

A Durham Duplex razor on a white girl towel leaving against a bottle of Carpathia soap next to a tin tub of Klar Charcoal soap and an Executive Shaving Co Medium Jock brush

  • Prep: Klar Activated charcoal facial soap
  • Razor: Durham Duplex Set
  • Blade: Ever Ready Compact Hair Trimmer
  • Lather: Klar Kohle
  • Aftershave: Southern Witchcrafts Carpathia toner

Yesterday's meet'n'greet went a bit overboard, but I still managed to wake up in time for a British travel shave with a ~~British made~~ US made (fail!) Durham Duplex razor and a full English breakfast. Other than falling in the Britishness department, I had a great shave.

I managed to find a moment to visit Jermyn Street, a.k.a. the home of Geo F. Trumper, Taylor of Old Bond Street, Floris, and almost home of D.R. Harris, too, and I broke my soap acquisition moratorium for a tub of Geo F. Trumper Rose. More on that tomorrow.
