    Saturday:

    Brush: Rooney Emillion
    Soap/Cream: Institut Karite Soap; Trumper Coral Skin Food
    Razor: EJ Ivory Chatsworth / Dorco
    After shave: DR Harris Pink AS; Harris AS Milk
    Cologne: None yet....going to wrench on the KTMs first.

    The combination of the "second batch" (hi-loft) Emillion and the IK soap produced quite a luxurious lather....one of the best yet. It was easily enough for 3+ passes....but I don't skimp on the soap ("a little too much is just enough").

    Sunday PM

    Maiden voyage with new brush:

    Hot shower
    Pre de Provence cream rubbed into beard area during shower
    Castle Forbes pre-shave at end of shower
    Shavemac custom 2007 (D01 hair) brush
    '60 Fatboy w/ Gillette Blue Silver blade
    QED Sandalwood/Vetiver soap + AOS Sandalwood cream
    WWR
    Skin Bracer A/S splash
    CWR
    AOS Sandalwood balm + Nivea Extreme Comfort balm + Mama Bear's Orange/Menthol milk

    I now understand what everyone is talking about when they talk about a brush that's "dense and firm, but soft at the tips." Both of my Savile Row brushes (3124 and 3330) are, to me, the definition of luxury -- not floppy at all, but soft and decadent. But this Shavemac pre-2005 hair brush has the same feel at the tips, but a firmer, stronger hair shaft or something.... I can actually feel the scrubbier nature of the bristles while applying each pass. It's not stiff and unforgiving (like a boar brush or a Pure badger)... but rather firm, and ultra-soft at the tips. Impressive!
