The build quality is definately not as good as a Merkur or a Gillette SS....but this particular model does shave well.

Edwin Jagger best badger
Merkur Progress
Palmolive (European) shaving cream
St-Ives Intensive Relief moisturizer
Yves Saint-Laurent Pour Homme edt

that European Palmolive shave cream is excellent. Tomorrow, I want to see how the US version performs so I can judge the difference.

Went with a Sandalwood theme today:

GEM open-comb micromatic with Pella blade
Vufix 2197 pure badger
QED Sandalwood stick
Alum
Thayer's a/s
Will G's Sandalwood a/s balm
Arden Sandalwood EDT

For those who've never heard of or tried the Arden Sandalwood, I'm really enjoying this scent (bought it from a member). It starts with a blast of lavender and sage and then dries down to a complex, warm, slightly sweet, powdery woody scent. I've worn this for three days straight - I like it that much.

Its a rich scent that reminds me in some ways of Knize Ten - but a less sweet/drier sandalwood version.
 
Thursday...

Gillette 1940's Super Speed w/ Euro Gillette blade
Bic Metal
T&H pre-shave oil
Tabac soap
QED DaVinci H2O
Floris 89 aftershave

Tabac edt (sample)

My first shave with Tabac soap. I had used the cream in the past and did not like the scent. Wanted to try the soap to see if it was any different.
I was able to get an okay lather but it was on the thin side. Still not crazy about the scent but not as intense as the cream. The cologne seems okay and actually smells
kind of nice but it doesn't seem to have much power to it.

I love the Floris 89 scent. I smell pineapple when 1st applied but then it dries down very nicey and last a decent time for an a/s. NEED to find the cologne.

Have a great day.
