    Tried Williams soap for the first time. Even with 'wrong lather' (watched video on YouTube and see how I was wrong - thanks, Jeff!) it was very slick. I have to try it more!

    May the 4th be with you..

    Unfortunately, it wasn't with me this morning

    Razor: G1 Injector
    Blade: Pella injector (day 1)
    Soap: VDH Luxury
    Brush: VDH boar
    Post: alum, witch hazel, TSD signature

    This was without doubt the worst shave I have ever had with an injector, nicks, scrapes, etc... I knew I had a nick on the first pass which was very odd. However the shave felt fine until the final pass. In the final pass I discovered how poor the first two passes were. The alum burned like crazy. I wonder if I will need to skip shaving tomorrow in order for my skin to heal. Ugh...

    Wednesday:

    Omega Wooden Handle
    Super Speed/Derby day 5
    Nivea SC
    Tabiano AS Gel :love008 :love008 :love008 :love008
    Dolce & Gabbana EDT :love008 :love008 :love008 :love008

    The Derby is still managing to give me very smooth and close shaves, and that surprises me--today is the 5th time, and it still has quite a bit of sharpness to it. The newest version of Nivea cream has really good lather and a much nicer scent than the earlier version with very good skincare. The Tabiano gel is fantastic--it has a lot of moisturizing and soothing. ;) :D

    Gillette Aristocrat
    Wilkinson Sword [1]
    TGN Silvertip Badger
    Ingram Shave Cream
    Neutrogena Post Shave Balm
    Brut Attitude AS

    oooooooooohhhhhhhhh that was a great shave. The Ingram's is a really nice cream with just the right amount of menthol for me. Also very cushiony and protective. I've been trying to use/like Erasmic for the last couple days and this just blew it right out of the water. And the Aristocrat is one of the few razors I can do *light* upward passes on my neck with.

    Result - Very close and Very comfortable shave. They should all be like this. 4.9/5
