Tuesday:

Omega Silvertip
Ming Shi/Derby day 3
Connaught Eucalyptus & Mint S/S (wowwwww)
Arko Aqua A/S gel
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer

a lovely soap with a great lather and scent, and a very nice, discrete cooling effect, and very soothing skincare--this morning's shave was most enjoyable!

 

Flare Tip SS
Treet Carbon
T&H Grafton SC (sample)
Alum Block
TSD Spring Equinox

I think something in the Grafton SC is irritating my face. Previous shave was with a Feather and Grafton and I assumed the irritation was from the blade. The Treet Carbon is a VERY gentle blade, and I was still irritated. At least that was the last of the sample.
