Monday:

Omega brush
Parker 22R/Sharp day 2
Fax Sensitive shaving cream
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Anherb a/shave gel

nice shave with this Fax cream--which, by the way might even be better than Arko!

 

Monday

• Hot shower
• Cromwell & Carruthers shave oil
• Hot towel
• L'Occitane Cade soap + squirt of Palmolive
• B&B horn brush
• Fat Boy (3/5/7)/7 am
• Alum block
• Witch hazel
• Michelsen Bay Rum AS
• Body Shop Krystna ASB
• Trafalgar EDT

Mediocre because of poor lather. Even adding the Palmolive didn't improve things. That B&B brush soaks up a lot of water, even if I am just rinsing it under the tap prior to loading the soap on it! Have to keep that in mind when I try and use it with a soap again.

Soap of the Day - Honey Bee Spa Almond

Result - 4.6/5.0 I didn't shave yesterday so the first pass had some tugging going on with a new Derby in the Futur. I put about 1/2 tsp. of glycerin right into the lather bowl between each pass and that seemed to help the beard and the lather richness.
