Went with an all vintage shave today. I was PIF'd some old blades to try, and let just say they're a bit rough. Enjoying a bunch of vintage OS soap and splash made up for it though. A fine enough shave overall today. I might not be perfectly smooth, but I smell amazing.

Blade: Hammer Brand Blade (1)
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia 22mm Two Band Badger
Soap: Vintage Shulton Old Spice (Belgium Mug 02)
Splash: Vintage Shulton Old Spice ("Sound fast..." Scrimshaw Decanter)
