THANKS. I'm keeping things fairly simple lately. The use of the shave stick amazes me. now that I'm down to the VDH boar brush and a Super Shedding Simpson CH2 my brush choices have narrowed. LOL

Monday morning

Gillette fat-handled Tech
Indian Wilkinson Sword (d3)
TGQ Savon de Campagne
Home made AS
T&H West Indian Limes EDC (long gone already)


CCS to DFS with two passes, one WTG and one XTG. XTG on the cheeks today was very satisfying; I could hear the hairs being cut but I couldn't feel a thing. The Wilkinson Sword blade was better on day 3 than on day 2, and better on day 2 than on day 1.


I quoted the above post because I love the scent of the Savon de Campagne. It has a heart of lavender but it has two citrusy overtones, one is orange and I'm not sure what the other is, but it's a fresh, clean, great scent for me. If you like citrus and you like these soaps, you might want to check it out.
