Today, a mix I hadn't tried before: Trumper's Almond cream with Barbasol original foam!
I squeezed the soaked Semogue boar brush out, loaded it with some Trumper's cream, emptied the scuttle, and whipped the cream a little bit in there. Then I added a dollop of Barbasol foam and whipped them up together. It provided a thick-ish but slick lather. Two easy passes and I was smooth and clean. Cleanup was a little longer than my usual -- I had to rinse out the brush and the bowl too, but the payoff was worth it. A grand combination of cream and foam! I may try it again on my Saturday shave (maybe use the Proraso Green cream with the Barbasol).
ETA: Turns out I did mix the Trumper's with the Barbasol before, last summer.
