    Gillette Lemon-Lime S/C
    Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
    Quorum A/S
    Quorum EDT

    back to my wonderful Parker 22R, and a really good shave--this Gillette Lemon-Lime cream from Lebanon has a ton of lather, smells nicer than Trumpers Lime, and has a good refreshing feeling! ;) :D

    Start with Hot Shower, Hugo Naturals Mexican Lime & Bergamot Soap, Head & Shoulders Citrus Shamp/Cond 2 in 1
    Razor: Gillette Tech (first time used)
    Blade: American Safety Razor Comfort Coated (1st use)
    Brush: Tweezerman Badger (still some shedding!)
    Soap: none today
    Cream: Tom's of Maine
    Toner: Dickenson Witch Hazel
    AS: Bowling Green (Geoffrey Beane)
    ASB: Neutrogena Razor Defense Post Shave Lotion
    Cologne: Bowling Green (Geoffrey Beane)

    I started off trying the Alba Moisturizing Shave Cream (Coconut Lime) and I just couldn't get it to lather, so I rinsed it off and switched to the Tom's. I didn't get the best shave today. I got a couple of small nicks. I am expecting a new Feather razor in the mail today. We will see if it comes. I also order a C & E Best Badger which should be here in a few days.

    Using L'occitane Cade Cream (old formula I think) for a few days. It's not one of my favorites. Need double the amount of cream then a lot of others and it doesn't have the glide and cushion I would expect for such an expensive cream. I remember they had a lot of trouble with this cream for a while and I don't have any new cream to compare it with. Time to retire it.

    Wednesday 9/24 . . .

    • [*]Prep: Rite Aid Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
      [*]Brush: C&E BBB
      [*]Cream: C&E Nomad
      [*]Razor: '36 Gillette NEW Bar Handle for face & Braun 7526 electric for head
      [*]Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge (shave 2)
      [*]Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
      [*]A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner
      [*]EDT: SCS VeryV EDT

      [*]Result: A great, comfortable and enjoyable BBS shave today. Missed yesterday so I looked forward to shaving this morning. The 7 O'Clock did very well again today and of course the NEW was absolutely awesome. I love it with the heft and control it brings to my morning shave. Only the second time I have used the Nomad SC. From a sample that C&E gave me in January. Did not like the scent at the time but today it smelled very good. Not good enough though to get me to buy it.
