Taylor's Week, Shave #1

Shower: Baxters Italian Lime-Pomegranite body wash and shampoo, Nancy Boy conditioner and face wash

Shave:
Merkur Futur with Derby Extra blade
SR3124 brush
Taylor's Rose
QED DVH20
D.R. Harris Aftershaving Milk

T&H Trafalgar cologne

Taylor's best product
A Rose by another name
Would not shave as sweet​

First of all, let me say again how awesome this SR brush is. Now, onward....

I thought I would shave with the best Taylor's cream first. The Rose is just a splendid cream. The scent is the very definition of intoxicating. I admit that I didn't purchase this cream for a very long time since I was concerned it would be too feminine smelling. How wrong I was! The rose is a heady, masculine fragrance, with undercurrents of cedar. Just superb. The lather is super-rich and thick, and protects better than most creams out there. Also seems to do a great job soothing the face. This is really one of the best products out there, you all owe it to yourself to pick some up.

I had a great shave this morning, although it always seems the first use of a
Feather blade is going nick every time. Never seems to be a problem for the rest of the week.

Very nice CraigK. Thanks for posting a pic.

Can't complain, I like it quite a bit. I know for sure I'll buy another brush from this company. It's very soft on the face, small, compact, and produces great lather in just a few swirls.

Here are my old brushes. The top one is a C&E and bottom a Shavemac, both about 6 years old and semi retired. I plan to use the old C&E with the CAR system that I just got today. That method looks a bit rough on the brushes.

Yowza!

Do you like the feel, quality and efficacy greater than the two aformentioned brands? Damn, that shavemac looks something awful have you tried to re-epoxy it?

Yes, much better all around. The Shavemac is pretty good except for the obvious issue. I may try to repair this weekend, I'll keep the forum posted.

*Was unimpressed with the almond's lather. I seemed unable to produce a slick lather unlike some of the other creams and soaps I've tried. Maybe technique is to blame. Who knows. Maybe I need to become a grasshopper in Ron's School of Lathering in the near future or maybe a young jedi in training
