SOTD Wednesday August 4, 2010

Razor: 5/8 Geo. Wostenholm Pipe Razor Full Hollow, Round Point
Shaving Cream: Ingram
Lather Bowl: Ceramic
Scuttle: RAB Ceramic
Brush: Col Conk Barbershop Badger
ASB: Nivea Replenishing
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue

The Ingram Shave Cream was great! Lots of cushion and glide similar to the Erasmic. The scent of the Ingrams was very pleasant. It has a clean Linen scent and reminds me of clean laundry. There must be a little menthol in there as well. It felt nice and cool very refreshing on a 96F day! It didn't hold it's lather as well as the Erasmic but it would rejuvenate immediately with a few drops of water and a stir with the brush. Excellent shave cream! :thumbup1:

I then have something to look forward to, I have an Ingram cream incoming. Too bad I didn't took the Erasmic as well, but I deliberately went by it, because I have tried the shave stick and it is awful, shouldn't be allowed to be called a shave stick.


Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Stephan's Smooth Conditioning Shaving Creme
Razor: 5/8" Thiers-Issard Eagle Brand, Spanish Point
Brush: 23mm Savemac Silvertip
Überlather: AOS Lavender shave creme + Mama Bear Masculine Musk soap + glycerin
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel
Post-Shave: Trumper's Limes Skin Food
Facial Moisturizer: NancyBoy Replenishing Facial Moisturizer
Cologne: Penhaligon Blenheim Bouquet
Result: Super pre-shave, super smooth shave, awesome feeling. :biggrin1:

Enjoy your Wednesday gentlemen :001_smile.

Cheers,
Robert

Very, very nice and beautiful :thumbup1: :thumbup:

Wednesday Evening:

Razor: Black Handle Superspeed
Blade: Shark Super Stainless (1)
Cream: Mennen
Brush: Omega Boar pro n48
A/S: Mont St Michel Lavender
ASB: Gaia Organic
 
Wednesday:

Simpson Tulip 3
Penhaligon's English Fern soap
EJ Chatsworth with Treet Dura Sharp
Booster Mosswood AS; Gentlemen's Refinery AS Balm
Penhaligon's English Fern EdT

I think these Treets are destined for the trash...they're kind of "draggy" to me. The shave is OK, but they aren't the smoothest, even in a relatively mild razor.

I think you will enjoy the Ingram SC Soren. The scent is very pleasant like clean Linen. The Erasmic SC has a scent that you will either love or hate. I love it but, I can see it could be a bit too much for some. I'm not sure what the shave stick smells like I have never used it. :001_cool:

Thursday morning:

Duke 2 in Best
Trumper's Sandalwood Cream
Futur + Derby
D.R. Harris Sandalwood AS

Cool and damp here this morning so I reached for products that I would normally use at a different time of year. Trying the Trumpers Cream for the first time; performance is great, but the scent is not quite what I expected and very different to the Harris AS. All in all, happy with the results.
