In the shower,

Razor: 50' SS with new Feather

This was my first shave with a Feather. I had 2 days growth and did 1 ATG pass. Great shave. I know this was the first time, but this will probably be my go to blade. Awesome.

Gillette Swede
Rooney 3, 1
Taylor of Old Bond Street St. James shave stick
Max Refreshing Aftershave w/Menthol
Saint Charles Shave Lavender milk

4 day growth, lukewarm water due to too many showers this morning = a little tugging but all in all a good shave.

I've never had a Swede feel like that so I guess hot water makes a pretty big difference.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
Fatboy/ Iridium
AOS 'Bay Rum' SC
Lucky Tiger AS
Storer 'Monk' EdP

Hehe, I felt like a strong blast of bay rum this morning, and I sure got my wish. I used the unscented AOS cream and added some bay rum EO (Pimenta Racemosa) to the stuff. Turns out it was just a tad too much, since I felt my upper lip tingling a little. No other reaction, and the shave went well.

Man, this AOS cream is excellent stuff.......extremely easy to lather, with lots of slick and protection during the shave. Whew........an intense bay rum experience. Face is BBS, but still not quite as close a shave as when using the Aristocrat open comb. All in all, a very nice time this morning.

Tuesday:

Hot shower
Merkur Futur
7oclock yellow
Edwin Jagger BBB
Taylor of old bond street Eton College S/C

First day with the 7oclocks. Felt nice and very different from the feathers. Can't really tell how much I like them yet but will continue using them for at least a week.
The TOBS Cream was just great, a litle to much scent though, because I know we've got some people that are sensitive for strong scents in my school. Too bad because it really is doing good!
