    Well, Guy. Vancouver isn't very similar to California, but it is a beautiful place! :lyrtuy5:

    Nobody. See the Merkur blade? Nobody else admits to liking that particular brand; it's gotta be Kevin. ;)

    Ditto. I do enjoy the DR Harris Marlborough woody/cedar scent, but the soap and creams were disappointing. I still use the aftershave, but not the soaps/creams.

    I got to try the Dr Harris Windsor EdT and really, really loved it.
    Don't see myself pursuing their shaving soap/creams though.

    Today was the first day with the Futur in my injured hand. Needless to say i ended up slicing myself twice beCause of the shaky movements. I might have to stick with a lighter razor for a bit.

    It was one of those mornings when waking up seemed an impossible task. So I went for a nice menthol shave and that seemed to so the trick.

    Razor - Tech
    Blade - Sputnik
    Pre Shave - Proraso Green
    Lather- Proraso Green soap
    Brush- Pilsson synthetic
    Aftershave - Nivea cooling balm

    I didn't know you had any DE razors left. Although I'm not suprised you held onto to your R41.
    Great picture.
    How do you rate Institut Karite products?

    I've used the IK soap, cream and aftershave balm. My favorite of the lot is the Balm. Quality stuff...I did a review of it last March. My opinions on the scent has changed since the review. Its not nearly as 'rose-like' as my initial impressions led to speak about. Its a clean scent, not overly floral. See HERE.

    The soap and shave cream is also very good. Same scent, but produce yield prodigious amounts of good shea-butter lather. For some reason, the cream tends to leave my face feeling dry, but not the soap. Either way, the balm 'fixes' any drying issues. My wife also loves the balm (unisex scent?) and uses it daily. Time for me to order another bottle of the stuff ($25). Not the cheapest product out there, but sometimes I don't mind paying for quality.

    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    FD Old Spice

    Injector May. The ARKO Extra Performance shave face-lathered well with my Jayaruh WC1 Silver Tip badger brush. Two passes with my Schick E2 razor and a Personna Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then FD Old Spice after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Cold water shave at work...

    •Gillette Techmatic
    •Barbasol can o'goo
    •umm...that's about it really

    3 pass BBS. Techmatic requires a bit more pressure than the usual DE but the tradeoff is, it's hard to nick yourself, which at work is always good. Followed up with Floid Black, which sample bottle's top came off while dispensing and spilled all over my hand, so I had to wash it off and make do without. Now I'll be bringing BRUT! or maybe Burma Bey instead.
