Proraso Pre SC
TSD Blueberry SS
Edwin Jagger BBB
P.W. Söderén & Co
Williams Ice Blue AS

I'm getting quite nice shaves on a regular basis with the straight now, nice! The TSD Blueberry is just awesome! I had to stop myself from actually eating the lather! The rich creamy lather we all love from the TSD soaps with a savoury blueberry scent, a calming and pleasant experience!

 

JoAnna, just as a point of interest for you, I absolutely LOVE the scents of the Sandalwood, and Lavender soaps from you, not to mention the lather, and everything else from them. The Sandalwood soap is elegant smelling and exotic, the Lavender is barbershoppy, and just right for a guy like me!

Friday: Tabac Time!

Omega Silvertip

Tabac cream has an even more intense scent than the soap, and it lathers nicely, but differently than its soap version. I like it, though.

 

Klaus, how is the Parker razor performing for you, my friend?
