Day 3

Today, I got a sample of Cooper & French Old Goat, a goat milk and tallow based soap. It lathered nicely and left my face feeling nice after the shave.

I also received a Spearhead Shaving Khaki kit replica, which I immediately put into use (for a little Gillette Travel Tech L1 that I recently found at an antique shop), and a couple boxes of blades (BIC Chrome Platinum and Tiger Platinum).

Have a good day!
