Gillette Swede (5)
Rooney 3, 1
Truefitt & Hill 1805 cream

This shave was better than yesterday. T&H 1805 is an excellent cream. Just a little bit swirled onto my brush and I had enough lather for 3+ passes. It's like this every time I use it but still amazes me. My tub is almost gone; I hope the next one is just as good.

Thursday = Musgo Real Lime preshave soap / 1962 Gillette Slim Adjustable @ 5 / Wilkinson of India blade / VDH brush / Col Conk Almond soap / TWH / TSD Lime a/s

The Wilkinson blade is very smooth and does a nice job regardless the razor I've tried them in. Quickly becoming a favorite. And I just love the scent of Col Conk Almond.

I got the same thing today with a Gillette Swede and still going. I don't think I've ever pushed a blade this far and it's still got shaves left.

Just received my samples from Trumpers, and overall I'm not impressed. T&H definately has better scents. I'll judge performance after using more. Shave was good, except a nick on my neck where I tried to get closer than needed.

 

Friday: musgo real lime preshave soap / 1962 gillette slim adjustable @ 5 / wilkinson of india blade d3 / vdh brush / ginger's garden with kmf lavender mix / twh / clubman pinaud a/s

nice shave. i really like the wilkinson blades, smooth and comfortable. got some irritation that i believe is from the lavender in the soap/cream mix. used the same setup yesterday, except for the soap, with no problem.
