Just to prove a point, I used my floppiest brush to whip up the soap today. As you can see (after four passes), there was no problem whatsoever. In fact, I was extremely pleased with this brush/soap combo.

I gotta tell you, I have to fight to not use this Harris soap every day - it is that good.

Lastly (to Rik), this PS green tea cologne is a good match with Arlington soap if you don't like the Arlington cologne; they both have that nice "powdery" citrus thing going on.

Man, I agree! I could probabaly give up all my soaps and just keep Harris and T&H and be happy!

But I won't!!!

I have Arlington shaving cream and I love it, but I must buy the soap now. I hear so many nice reviews on it.

Today I went crazy and tried a 7 pass routine!

Smartshave Exfoliating pads
Provence Sante' Shave Soap (in redware! )
Vulfix 41
for 5 passes; then
I used Hydrolast Cutting Balm (Lime and Green Tea) mixed with their Shave Paste for 2 passes.

For razors, I used a combo of Slant Bar with Feather Platinum blades and a Mach 3 (for one very irritated spot on my neck (heavy starched collar )).

I finished with QED DaVinci water and Hydrolast Peppermint A/S balm.

After all of that "sunk in," I rubbed some Ultra Shave on my face and - WOW It's like BUTTA!!

Finished up with Tabac EDC.

<sigh> I love time off for the holidays!!!

Just curious, has anyone here ever tried Trumpers almond? I received it as a gift, but I haven't even smelled it yet.

I don't care for it - very subtle compared to Taylor and T&H. Plus Trumpers doesn't shave that great for me.

 

[crackstar]

Scotto, I hope I get a good shave with it tomorrow, I'm going to try it.

Greetings Jeff,
I have both Trumpers creams and soaps including their almond. I receive equally great shaves with both. I personally like their almond scent.

No shave today for me. Our cleaning girl showed up early this morning and when she does....I get the heck out of the house.

A shave worthy of a record book! I must admit, I am impressed!!!

I'm really not kidding here...

I had a soft, smooth face at 11:00pm last night. Granted it took twice the time, so - it's only fair to get twice the "life" out of that shave...

Randy - I used to LOVE that Cigar cologne. They haven't made it for years - mind if I ask where you scored that bottle??
