Savile Row SR212
QED Anise & Lavender soap
Merkur Progress with Merkur blade
Chamomile hysdrosol
Floris Santal ASB
Penhaligon's Endymion EdT
Floris Santal deodorant stick

For those who don't know, Santal and Endymion are VERY close cousins

I wish you folks could have seen how much lather I had from the QED soap this morning. It was really obscene - all joking aside, I probably could have shaved everyone who posts in the SOTD with some to spare. Glorious excess!

On a less pleasant note, does anyone know if the Floris balm contains lanolin? I noticed an unpleasant burning sensation this morning that I haven't felt since trying the T&H balm, which has lanolin.

Have a great day!

Scotto,
You may wish to call them at 800.5FLORIS and see if the operator can direct you to someone who would know. If all else fails, ask for TIna in sales/customer service. She is an absolute sweetheart and will get you on the right path. Also ask her where my second order is hiding..

Col Conk Shave Soap - 1 part Lime, 2 parts Bay Rum (sounds like a mixed drink)

Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet Cologne

Played racquetball before work this morning so I had to shower/shave in the locker room, not a great shave since I don't have my mirror in the shower. And yes, I tote all of my junk to the gym and locker room.

But I did beat the snot out of my opponent 2 games out of 3!

My wife is going crazy for the B&B EDT. Did Charles spike it with some aphrodisiac? Trust me....no complaints here!

Are you using the Nioxin as a "pre-shave" treatment?

Randy

Yes I am. Ever since I started doing this I seem to be getting better shaves and my skin has never looked better. This could be in combination with my technique getting better (Started Traditional Wet Shaving in May)

At some point I am going to see if by removing this from my routine if it makes a difference. I have been hesitant to do so since things have gotten so good.

Hi boboakalfb!
Lavender day, eh? What do you think of the Atkinsons English Lavender? That is J&E Atkinsons? Right? Thanks.

Had a stressfull couple of days so what better way to start the day than with Lavender! It is Atkinsons of England...is that J&E? Purchased it at http://www.someplaceintime.com/67h349.html . I am enjoying the Lavender. I just discovered a L'Occitane store right next to Crabtree and Evelyn at a Mall nearby. I have been restraining myself from making a purchase at C & E..now I have a double whammy. I am going to have to give in here pretty soon...just...can't...wait...any...longer....
