January 23, 2024 - Two Tea Tuesday

  • Brush: Wald Stratos Goldvein 29mm A1 Fan

  • Razor: Parker 510 13/16" Square Point Full Hollow

  • Lather: Noble Otter - Thé Noir et Vanille - Soap

  • Toner: Thayers - Lemon - Toner

  • Aftershave: Barrister and Mann - Cheshire - Aftershave

  • Fragrance: Floris of London - No. 89 - Eau de Toilette

  • Talc: Pinaud Clubman Finest Powder
     
    2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


TNeV followed by Cheshire is the right order of scents for a Two Tea Tuesday IMO. Adding Floris 89 just improved the fragrance journey.

Another day of lather tweaking. Again, I took the lather to the point of easily washing cleanly from the razor but not as far as my normal just-shy-of dripping state. The Swedish steel on this Japanese Parker certainly loved it. Amazing shave today.

That's a very nice razor - is this the Japanese Parker you talked about?
