    Outstanding shave today! The Model T took down four days growth as if it were nothing. Very close and comfortable - and chilly thanks to Terror.

    Good to know, but I will give it a sniff before buying such a quantity: I prefer smaller packagings that allow a better rotation without losing characteristics.

    Even on the Italian forum, many say the CF is expensive.
    I certainly agree it is not a cheap product, but considering the quantity, i am not prone to agree: Martin de Candre, Nuavia, etc...
    Why nobody ever mentions them among the dear ones?

    I am not on CF payroll to defend them, but...

    The masterpiece below shows that I'm hoisting the white flag and switching to spring fragrances.

    This cream, cheap and efficient, with the scent of classic cologne, goes well with the EdT and has offered me an impeccable shave: something is going right!

    GEMonday, April 6th 2020 today for my razor usage, On a fairly new blade I like to advantage of my milder Gem razors that will give excellent shaves regardless. My gold push button performed very well today with minimal operator error.

    Razor: Gem push button- MFG 1958-65 -good daily driver!
    Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (2) Excellent blade in every way!
    Soap: Italian barber Amici- Great inexpensive soap with good lather qualities!
    Brush: Yaqi timber wolf whiskers 24mm- great brush to use.
    Pre- shave : shower + a dollop of Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
    Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 3.
    Post shave: Amici aftershave with witch hazel + AVON "True Gent" balm- now that is a nice balm!!!
    Results : CCS,DFS,BBS + minimal irritation + 1 weeper on chin area> operator error= [​IMG] great shave today!

    Have some great shaves!

    CWR
    Osage Rub

    The Eskimo Tuxedo Shaving Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #401 brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Pal Injecto-matic with a Personna blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Sorry for my English...
    What i meant is many complain for the cost of CF, while nobody ever says a word in regards of other soaps with a similar cost.

    First use of the Monday razor in this set of “mini Lunds.” They are 2.75 inches instead of the normal 3 inch blades. My technique with them is improving and today’s shave was very, very satisfying :happy036:
