Very odd. I've been traveling since Wed, and haven't checked in. I shave this morning, avoiding heavy scents as I hope to go fishing. I opt for an all-Proraso day-- pre, cream, and aftershave balm.
I log on to check stream reports, hatch activity, and water levels, and lo and behold, today is a Proraso ISD. Weird.

AoS Preshave (Unscented)
Merkur HD/Merkur
Musgo Real
AoS Silvertip
TGR A/S Balm
Floris JF cologne (I have to make a public appearance today and it just doesn't feel like the right weather for my signature scent). Dark storm clouds make for something from that small foggy island.*

I understand that Kent's BK4 is suppose to be quite the little brush for soaps. It (the BK4) is a nice looking brush as well. You should consider buying a BK4 and trying it out to see for yourself...fallingwickets wrote:On my hands and knees, pretty please with cherries on top I am BEGGING you gents.......no more bk4 talk.....PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. thank you!
Who knows you might like the BK4 and write another positive review of it.
Here is a pic of the BK4...
Here is where you can order a BK4 for yourself...

I can give you a coupon code for the BK4, if you PM me Clive...
Does that help you at all Clive?

Sunday:
Tryphon Medici shaving soap (first time)
Savile Row 3122 brush (22mm knot; silvertip)
Star 3-piece razor (2nd shave)
Dorco blade (2nd shave)
Thayer's Original Witch Hazel
This was my first time using a Tryphon soap, and I'm impressed. It has a "creamy" texture, different from any glycerin-based soap that I have used thus far. Very good lather.
The Star razor and the Dorco blade appear to be a good combination. The shave was gentle and smooth, much like I get with the Gillette Tech.
