Oh my goodness, what is happening to me--I think now that it's possible that there is a tie between Tet-a-Tet and Noxzema for 1st place among my favorite creams. I am expecting some more of this fantastic Russian cream, and until it arrives, I will have to use rationing. What a wonderful shave I had today.

Started with a generic 3 piece open comb razor my wife gifted me. Lasted about 4 stroke, horrible little thing. Redo with the FlairTip for a decent shave but need some balm.

My "Dollarama" scuttle consists of a really big mug and a small ramekin that fits in the top, both from a store
called Dollarama. The ramekin is big enough to work up a lather in, so I tried it with a cream rather than a soap.
It worked ok, but no better than just keeping your bowl in the basin.

Razor: Jaggerooney
Blade: Super Iridium
Brush: Simpson Colonel X2L Best
Cream: Cyril Salter Indian Sandalwood
A/S: Generic Witch Hazel, Ogallala Bay Rum & Sandalwood Toner

A wonderful shave this morning! This was #5 on the Iridium blade, which means that it's good for about 7 more, based on my past experience with several different razors.

The Ogallala toner integrated well with the Salter Sandalwood cream, a recent acquisition (but not the new reformulation).
