  • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
  • Razor: Baili BR179
  • Blade: Wilkinson Sword Classic (1)
  • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Diamond - Soap
  • Post Shave: Spearhead - Seaforth! Heather - Toner
  • Post Shave: Goodfellow & Co. - Face Lotion - Kelp & Sea Mineral

There's some sort of ball game tomorrow in the USA so I packed a Ball themed soap for this trip. I like Diamond a lot.

I haven't used this razor in forever. It's the TTO Baili. Apparently it doesn't pair well with a Wilkinson Sword Classic. Pretty tuggy, but fortunately a close and comfortable shave. I don't have other blades to try. I packed the Wilkinson because they come in a travel dispenser. I guess I could have loaded the dispenser with some other options, but Wilkinson Sword usually work well.

Yes, I heard there is some sort of big game tomorrow. I have a big OLED TV that I bought for streaming movies and watching Formula 1. I guess Iโ€™ll see what this ball game stuff is about :)

The Wilkinson Sword blades that are made in Germany are among my favorites.

I have a nice OLED TV at home, but the channel with the super bowl is blocked by a big hill, even with the antenna mounted on the roof.

I stream everything else, but sports is still an antenna game for me.

Either way, we're in Texas this weekend so I'll watch the commercials on whatever I'm sat in front of!
