Wednesday:

Omega Silvertip
Ming Shi TTO/7 AM day 3
Proraso Aloe & Green Tea S/S
Arko Aqua A/S gel
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Aramis EDT

It's time for a blade change the next time I use this razor, but I still managed to get a very close and comfortable shave.

 

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
fatboy/feather
J Peterman SC
Lucky Tiger AS
Storer 'Monk' EdP

A repeat of yesterday's excellent shave. This cream is soooo slick, and the scent's not bad either. The fatboy waltzed effortlessly over my face, and left me with BBS results.

WEDNESDAY

A chilly, rainy day in the Carolinas calls for menthol:

Muhle R89 / Wilkinson
Omega Boar Brush
Proraso pre-shave w/hot towel
Proraso Green SC
Proraso post w/ice cold towel
Aqua Velva AS
Proraso ASB

 

Wednesday

Hot shower + Hot towels
EJ BBB
Merkur Futur
Wilkinson Sword (d2)
T&H Trafalgar S/C
Cold towels
Boss A/S Splash
Nivea Sensitive A/S Balm

I'm more and more sure that I'll have to get a trafalgar scented aftershave really! That scent really does it for me.

 

Wednesday

Razor: Merkur HD
Blade: Derby Extra (4)
Cream: C.O. Bigelow
Post: Thayer's Witch Hazel with Aloe
A/S: Master Bay Rum

 

Razor: Aristocrat Jr.
Blade: Schick Plus Platinum day 4
Brush: re knotted Fuller
Lather: J. Peterman 1903
A/S: Witch Hazel



If for some reason I could only have one cream, I think I'd be plenty happy with the J. Peterman. Unlike Martin I've hit the sweet spot with this cream both times I've tried it and I've been using a normal amount of product and getting more lather than usual for creams like the TOBS. And I smell great!
