Sunday evening:

Muhle R89 with Derby
Simpson CH1 2BS
Fitjar Miklagard shave cream
Musgo Real classic aftershave

First shave with the Fitjar cream. It's definitely different than any other cream I've tried - from consistency, to lather, to scent - but that's not a bad thing. The shave was excellent. It took me twice as long to get the kind of lather I want, but it was very moisturizing, dense, slick and thick when I got it there. Not more or less moisturizing than my other soaps/creams. The scent is unique. If you like the smell of the lumber isle in Home Depot you'll like this. I do.
 
Just enjoyed a nice Sunday afternoon shave.
