No I haven't as this is the 1st TSD cream I've ever used. It was part of a generous PiF by @LuvWetShavin . TSD creams will definitely be considered when I start buying again................

In preparation for March 24 I continued on the SE path with my grandpa's 1912. It had been a long time since I used it and it surprised me with how smooth and close it shaved. I could have stopped after the first two passes but kept going. Hardly any need at all for touch-ups.

My only do-over would have been to palm strop the new blade. I usually do this but forgot as it had been so long since I used a new GEM blade. A few minor weepers on the third pass as a result but that just means it's properly broken in for tomorrow with my 1914.

Thanks Robert. Haven't used either Eton College product in over a year and figured it was time to use this old favorite of mine from TOBS.

 

Beautiful frosty photo Douglas!

 

For that same reason I have been trying to slow it down lately. Nobody needs this many soaps, croaps, and creams! It takes me forever now to get to use some of my favorites.

 

You dont want to know how many I have my friend............
