    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.
