Can't believe I almost missed a whole week of SOTD! Well, I got 1 in!

This has been such a bloody busy week it actually did my car in!

SOTD, Friday afternoon, July 11th, 2014

Shower after pool fun with the kids + Neutrogena glycerin soap face wash
Sample of new St James of London Cedarwood and Clarysage shave cream, courtesy of a kind wet-shaving friend
Rudy Vey beehive badger brush
Feather SS folding straight razor + Proguard blade
Cool washcloth rinse
St James lavender geranium balm sample
Cool washcloth infused with Pinaud Lime Sec

The St James cream and balm were awesome; unique scents and performed on par with the best of the Brits.
I look forward to trying the other two flavors sometime soon.

Another nice midnight shave.

Hot shower, soaping my beard.
Earthy Delight shampoo, including beard.
Geo. F. Trumper Coral Skin Food, as pre-shave.
WD silvertip, no-name handle.
Cyril R. Salter Wild Rose cream.
Utilemud red and lavender bowl.
Fatboy, set to 5.
Derby blade, first use.
Cold rinse.
Alum block.
Cold rinse.
D. R. Harris Pink aftershave.
Geo. F. Trumper Coral Skin Food.

The Salter Rose is head of the class. Great, real-rose aroma and heaps of thick cushiony lather, more than enough for 2-pass-and-cleanup shave. Derby blade disappointing; as is every blade I try from my sample pack, after the glorious Feather.
