Thursday

Merkur Futur
Derby Extra (4)
VDH Brush (I seldom list this because I only own one brush and this is it)
Williams Shave Soap
Pinaud Clubman A/S

I opted out using a cheap razor today because I was running late and I can get a shave that is good for work faster with the Futur than with any other razor I own.

 

Thursday:

Merkur Futur / Gillette "Swede" Blade
Plisson 14 HMW
Trumper Limes Cream
Bourbon Parfums EdC; Nivea Sensitive AS Balm
Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta

1917 gillette old type
german wilkinson white label (4)
palmolive lemon
ever roddy badger brush, black/green marble bakelite handle

dickinsons witch hazel
murray & lanman florida water

caswell massey no. 6

 

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
fatboy/feather
AOS SC (added bay rum EO)
Lucky Tiger AS
Storer 'Monk' EdT

Whew........back to normal after the unpleasantness of the previous few days with that rogue fatboy I picked up recently. Yeah, returned to my everyday razor the last couple mornings and the difference was night and day. These last two shaves have been extremely comfortable, which is what I've learned to expect when all the proper tools come together.

BBS results, with no weepers at all.........plus my face feels excellent. This shaving thing isn't too bad..........

I'd have to say, I was more pleased with the performance of the blade with the Williams today than I was with the Tabac on Monday. Much smoother on my neck for the "bullfrog" pass.

Nathan, what do you think of the W&S Orange? I have been curious about it. Is it a nice strong scent, or more subtle?
