Merkur Best Badger
Gillette Swedish Blade (new)

Couple of tiny cuts today which has become a rare event in the last few weeks. Think the Gillettes and Feathers are just too sharp and unforgiving for me. I'm more comfortable with the Derby's.

SOTD Rating 8.2/10 ...had better shaves...

C&E Sweet Almond Oil SC
Alum
Thayer's Rose WH

Found the C&E by accident yesterday on clearance for 8 dollars! Quite a find...especially after reading some reviews! Smells great (I really appreciate that this is the smell of fresh (green) almonds pressed...NICE. Needed more water than a lot of creams, but was fantastic once enough water was added.

Sunday:
C&E Best Badger
Floris Santal SC
Merkur-Merkur
Floris Santal ASB
Floris Santal EdT

My Floris samples came this week... I was quite flabbergasted, as I only requested a catalog and got 2 shave creams, 3 after shave balms, and 5 EdTs! Most of the samples will only last 2-3 shaves, but hey... THAT'S customer service!

I got a better shave today with the Floris than I previously have with either the eShave or Proraso. Let the SCAD begin!
