Feather (1)
Semogue 2000
Godrej Lime Fresh
Florida Water Cologne

Today was my first shave with the Semogue 2000. It's got nice stiff bristles but remains very soft at the tips. It needs a lot of breaking in, just like the 1305 did, but it already performs well.

 

+1 (although my Merkur slant isn't far behind )

 

Thanks. How do you like the Trumper Rose soap?

 

Razor: Schick 66
Blade: Pella
Brush: re knotted Fuller
Lather: Czech and Speake No.88 soap

Great shave and what a lather that 88 has!

Merkur Futur w/ BIC Chrome Platinum
Penchetta Brush
GFT Sandalwood SS
L'Occitane L'Occitan EDT

 

Hi Chris, it's not bad—pleasing, mild scent and good lather. It's not the best value, though.

 

Trumper's Rose SS smells excellent, though it's on the mild side. I wish it had the scent of T&H's Rose SC...

Good morning

Turista SC
Rotbart Mod with Rapira super stainless (4)
Nivea Frische Fluid

The Turista is a brushless cream for the local Spanish market in the near of Elche. It's slightly cooling and works great. A real bargain.
The Rapira'S duration was low. Just four shaves with her.

 

Wednesday:

Gorey's Chairman
Ming Shi TTO/Sharp day 3
Italian Palmolive Menthol-SC :happy108 :happy108 :anifrozen :anifrozen
Visal-AS gel :anifrozen :anifrozen
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer
Acqua di Selva-cologne

Although this shave was very good, and I love the Sharps, they really don't last that long. 3 shaves are the maximum for me, and then I need to change blades. The menthol in this Palmolive cream is not only powerful, it also lasts a good while, and the Visal gel really magnifies the cooling sensation! :anifrozen
