    I don't have my digital camera with me.

    Merkur Slant w/Dorco
    Kingsley Super Badger
    DR Harris Marlborough Shaving Soap sample
    Honeybee Moisturizing Mist
    Proraso Pre & Post Cream

    This was my first experience with DR Harris. I was very impressed. It was a small sample but it made great lather. I can tell this isn't a soap that requires much work. Something else to add to the wishlist..:o

    a good shave, but the Treets make very nervous about cutting myself. I know I can get at least another 2 shaves with this blade, but I'll probably go back to the Sharps and stay with them. ;)

    Tuesday

    Hot shower
    C&E Best Badger
    "J" Injector/USA Shick
    TGQ Black Tie soap :drool
    Alum block
    AV Ice Blue
    Anherb conditioner
    D&G EDT

    Notable shave for two things.

    1) First time with the TGQ soaps, incredibly appealing scent, great lather. I will have to work out the optimal brush water/soap ratio, but even with me flapping about adding more lather in the brush, the shave ended up top notch.

    2) Anherb conditioner contains menthol, and I know this because I had the coolest eyebrows in town for five minutes this morning when I spilled too much in my palm and applied rather richly across my entire face.

    Result: First time with the Red Tip Super Speed after I cleaned it up. Aggressive blade exposure but tamable. We'll see how it does with other blades. I've cleaned up about 7 razors so far. Could probably use a little more but, I got them into pretty good condition. The shave was 4.2/5.0. I went light due to the new razor and didn't want to turn it into a rough shave. Another cream sample bit the dust today.
