I can take or leave Trumper creams (but they are good), but their shave soap is incredible.

Rusty's brief soap rankings:
1. Mitchell's Wool Fat
2. Trumper, Taylor
3. T&H, D.R. Harris

But really though, they are all extremely close in terms of quality. That is just my preference. 2nd and 3rd place soaps are pretty much tied.

I got my filthy paws on some Wool Fat a couple of days ago, so I'll actually be able to chime in on that soon.

Thursday:

Vulfix 2233
C&E Sweet Almond Oil cream
Merkur HD
Derby blade
Pinaud Clubman AS

I just can't get enough of that Clubman scent. Every day I wonder what different aftershave I will use, and then I end up back at the same place.

I can vouch for that. Doug and I had a brief meetup before lunchtime today. He brought me a collection of excess product as a Christmas gift (including some T&H for ISD) and he was the picture of the well-groomed professional! I also got to fondle the Artist's Club straight he's selling. Wow!

Thanks, Doug. You're a rare gentleman, and I'm glad to have made your acquaintance.

Hey, Karl --

Thanks for the endorsement and the link. It was great to meet you. As a librarian, fellow wetshaver, and dedicated dad, you're a real mensch yourself. Enjoy the stuff -- I'll try to scrounge up some moustache wax next time!

Best,
Doug
