To start the week:

Taylors of Old Bond Street - Sandalwood Shaving Cream
Utilized the Hess Forty-Four on loan by Lynn Abrams and the Schick Injector for the tricky spots
Followed up with some QED DaVinci Water

I gotta admit, I got some road rash from the str8, but I DID shave at the sink instead of in the shower.

George Trumpers - Sandalwood Cologne

You are correct!

Another C&E Sienna day...

My wife and youngest son were both sick today, so I stayed home from work (vacationing as a nurse. Gotta love it!).

After a LONG hot shower with my Beaudelaire Rose soap and my Cedar Exfoliating brush (complete with Nancy Boy hair products) I shaved with:

Vulfix 41
C&E Sienna Cream (just could NOT get the right lather today!! )
Futur and Slant bar (both with Feather blades)
Pacific Shave Oil
QED DaV H2O
Hydrolast Lime & Green Tea Cutting Balm
Hydrolast Peppermint A/S
Trumper Coral Skin Food

After 4 passes with the Futur, I "oiled up" with the Cutting Balm and did touch and cut (using the Slant) for any stubble that I could find. I did get a tiny bit of razor burn on one side of my Adam's apple... However, over 12 hours later and I'm still baby-butt smooth (even against the grain)!!

Finished up with C&E Sienna EdT

Merkur HD with Feather
Old faithful Burma Shave brush
Willi G. Shea Butter #7
Proraso a/s balm

On my patented three bit resolution, 0-7 scale: 2 (fair)

Not one of my better efforts.

 

[murchmb]

Showered with conditioner (Fructis) on face for a bit.
PSO before 1st pass

Four passes with:
Merkur Progress with Israeli Personna
Vulfix 2234
Will G's Unscented Shea Soap

Followed by:
Baxter's ASB

I don't usually post my shaves, but this was one of the better ones I've had in a long while. With my winter induced dry skin, maybe the conditioner and PSO helped out. Or maybe winter has gone away for a while seeing that it's rained the past few days and highs have hovered between 50 and 60 here.

[crackstar]

my shower
Shave:
Merkur Vision
Omega brush
Muhle-Pinsel almond shaving cream (good lather, but the scent is very faint)
Lubriderm unscented moisturiser
Yves Saint Laurent edt.

Muhle-Pinsel's almond cream gives a nice, comy shave, oh yes, but the scent is hardly noticeable. Also, it's not even what I'd call almond. More like a chocolate!
