williams soap
ever roddy badger brush, black/green marble bakelite handle

dickinsons witch hazel

polo (green bottle)

 

I typically swap them out after a week, but I kind of lost track because I have had a couple setups going due to recent travel. Finally added it up and realized why it was pulling some. I can get a week out of them regularly though.

Edwin Jagger DE87 + Derby
"Comptoir des savonniers" SS
Thayers Witch Hazel
La Toja ASB
Fragonard Cologne Grand Luxe EDT

 

I am not a fan of Trumpers but I like the scent of GFT cologne, :happy088.

 

Friday:

Gorey's Chairman
Ming Shi TTO/new 7 AM
Pika-SC
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Quorum-AS
Quorum-EDT

This Pika cream, which is also Bulgarian-made is from the same company as Spatia, which I used yesterday. It has the same nice and clean scent, very rich lather, and it contains allantoin, which soothes and protects the skin from irritation and dryness. Another BBS & beautiful shave!

Friday Shave

Hot Shower

TSD Iced Subzero
Corn Huskers Lotion
Osage Rub
Aqua Velva Classic

Gentlemen, if you're looking for the summer/hot weather stack, this is it. I'm more impressed by this set up every time I use it. The Gem Jr. of course rendered its standard exceptional shave. This is the ultimate in face freezing goodness

 

Friday!

Plisson 20
Taylor of Old Bond Street Mr. Taylors cream
Gillette Slim Adjustable w/ UK Wilkinson blade
Thayer's Rose Witch Hazel with alcohol
Knize 10 EdT

While the Slim is a decent shaver, it's just not on par (for me) with my HD Rocket, Futur, '58 TV or Flare Tip SS. It just seems to take more effort for some reason.

And...the P20/Taylor cream was quite nice this morning!
