    Thursday:

    Brush: Simpson Polo 8 Super
    Soap/Cream: Institut Karite; Trumper Coral Skin Food
    Razor: Edwin Jagger Chatsworth / Derby
    After shave: Thayer’s Rose Witch Hazel; Nivea Sensitive AS Balm
    Cologne: Creed Bois du Portugal EdT

    First run with the IK soap today. It produced an interesting lather – kind of a mix between a traditional soap lather and lotion. It firmed up nicely in my Moss scuttle and produced a nice, cushiony second pass lather. Nice subtle and inoffensive fragrance also…

    Other

    Shaving Other: Face Prep Mild cleanser begin shower. 45-60 sec HOT water end shower 20-30 sec splash begin shave.
    Shaving Other: Lather Prep Lather building directly on face.
    Shaving Other: Technique (Feather WTG)/(DE 45XTG/ATG Cleanup)

    Result: 4.6/5.0 A number 1 shave. Keep the C&E soap coming because it never fails me. It will be a real shame when I run out of the Sweet Almond Oil but I like the other scents decides to cut costs and reformulate the soap.

    Prep with Nivea ASB
    TSD Lilac S/S
    Edwin Jagger BBB
    Gillette Slim M4 / Feather
    Musgo Real A/S

    Experimented a bit and used Nivea ASB as preshave, softened the skin very well! The TSD Lilac is enchanting, soon the lilacs will bloom, the soap definitely brings the forthcoming joy to mind!

    Rich,

    Thanks,

    Nobody has it in stock anymore except maybe Appleton Barber Supply and you have to call them and ask them to check the stock manually because it is not in the system inventory. A retailer returned a case and it was never returned to main stock because once they're gone, that's it. History. Lucky Tiger has been doing this to a number of items lately. I like their Correct Way and 3 Purpose w/oil Hair Tonics.

    Nivea ASB as Preshave???

    Sounds worth a try. :D

    Indeed! I have read all over how the GFT Skin Food is mainly glycerine, so I thought, the Nivea ASB can't be that different :D

    Yes, GFT mostly is Glycerin and Rosewater, it would be good stuff (if it were a lot cheaper).

    I've used Nivea Sensitive AS Balm as a preshave -- it works just as well as the Trumper skin foods (IMO...).
