    I posted late because I was busy this morning. But 9 hours later and I'm still smooth!

    TESC Pre-Shave Oil
    Speick Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #56 synthetic
    Gillette Goodwill LC
    Personna Super
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayers Rose Petal WH
    Speick After Shave

    The Speick Shave Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #56 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Goodwill LC razor with a Personna Super blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Speick After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Razor - Gillette 1947 Aristocrat in with case
    Brush - Epsilon White Horse Hair “Fan Shape” Black Shaving Brush 27mm knot
    Shave stick - Palmolive men classic
    Bowl - Turkish copper shave bowl via @Burak Kucukler

    It's been a while since I've used the Aristocrat and now ask myself why. It has become my favourite TTO beating out even the venerable FB/Slim. See Top 3 upset
    First for the new brush and first for the Palmolive stick version.
    Great close dolphin smooth skin. So much so that my wife commented on the way to mennonite farmers market "you look shiny smooth".
    The brush is my first horse hair and first fan shape brush also. This thing is crazy dense dare I say even to much. Have a good weekend.

    Maybe it's my daughters pink toothbrush in the background that's calming you.

    No it's definitely the soothing goods and the crisp white colors.

    The Dollar General near my house carries Rexall nutritional supplements. They are very good...they don't have the blades though :(

    These are long gone from production. I'd gladly trade for a NOS Personna74 ;)

    A while back i did some research on them. Cool stuff, they've been around since 1903 starting in Boston and spreading throughout the US and Canada.
