-EUCERIN creme as an extra moisturizer

Monday morning...

Merkur Futur w/ new Israeli Personna.
New Bic Metal for upper lip and touchups.
Savile Row SR-212 brush
Taylor's Sandalwood cream
QED Lavender Water
CAR Peppermint a/s balm

Taylor's Sandalwood EDT

1st time using the Israeli Personna blade. Not bad but I got a bit more burn and irritation than I'm used to. Will give it a few more shots before making a decision since this was a brand new blade and all.

I love the smell of the Taylor's Sandalwood cream. For me, this scent reminds me of the barber shop that I would visit with my father when I was a small boy.

Have a nice day.

First of the C's vs. T's

EJ for C&E
Super speed with Derby
C&E sandalwood cream
Thayer's rose petal witch hazel
Proraso crema liquida
Trumper coral skin food

I'll keep the razor, blade, and a/s treatment identical.

The C&E cream provides what I'd have to call adequate, but not exceptional, lather. In this regard, it is not unlike T&H- very good, but not spectacular. The scent, however, is magnificent. I've tried sandalwoods from Coates, Trumper, Taylor, C&E, and AOS, and based on fragrance alone, I'd put this one at the top of the pack. It also has the greatest staying power by a wide margin. The others, which range from nondescript to extremely pleasant, seem to fade by shave's end, but the C&E lingers for a considerable time. I find myself sniffing my finger (now that certainly conjures up some weird thoughts) an hour later. Let's see how the Trumper fares manana.

Trumper coral skin food

The Trumper has a nice, classic scent, but is nowhere near as appealing as the C&E. Still, it delivers a top quality, untuous, textbook lather. Round one is a virtual dead heat, but we need a winner. I give the nod to Trumper, putting more weight on efficacy.

So far,
T = 1
C = 0

Randy,

any words on the Mama Bear cream/soap? I saw mention of it on our board not too long ago and checked out their web-site. It's like my first trip to Baskin-Robbins, I wanted way more than I could reasonably consume (not like that's ever stopped me from buying way more than I need before)
