Thursday, September 1, 2011 Razor: Merkur Futur Blade: Gillette Yellow Brush: Shavemac D01 Horn Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime Cream or Soap: Calani and Italian Palmolive Superlather A/S: Trumper Extract of Limes I received a sample of Calani Zypresse & Orange shaving soap from Jesse and decided to give it a try this morning. No Go! Although the lather looked pretty good, it lacked the glide necessary for a comfortable shave. I added a squirt of Italian Palmolive to create a superlather and all was good.

Gem G-Bar Cvs Persona (1) Edwin Jagger Best Badger AOS Lavender PreShave Oil TBS Maca Root Shave Cream TBS Maca Root Razor Relief Throwback shave - haven't used an SE in around 6 months, and the G-Bar's always been good to me. The first stroke was heinous though, tugging and pulling. Second was worse. I then popped open the razor and saw I had a Gem blade in there which do NOT agree with me. So I swapped it out for a Cvs blade and it was smooth sailing from there on. TBS shaving cream performed celestially as usual.
