Kent BK4
Kiss My Face Moisture Shave: Cool Mint
Merkur HD
Israeli no-name blade (#6)
Pinaud Clubman AS
I swear that I get the best shaves with the Israeli blades on the fifth and sixth days. I haven't pushed it to seven, but I'm tempted.

Hoffritz slant/Tesco
Rooney 1/1 super horn
Trumper's coconut soap
Lucky Tiger tonic
T&H Spanish leather
Around this time of year, others might consider the beginning of hurricane season. Last year for me it was the beginning of neck sting season. The tiniest bit of irritation, combined with sweat, and I would feel the familiar sensation. This year, not so much. Not at all, actually. It's almost like a year of daily practice has made a difference. No - that can't be it, must be a coincidence.

Thursday
Merkur Vision (My 1st shave with it)
Derby blade
Omega boar red handle
QED Bay Rum soap
Thayer's Lavender WH
Dominica Bay Rum AS
QED Lime After Shave Conditioner
The Vision arrived yesterday so the first shave was today. I turned the adjustment up about a 1/4 turn. It had been turned down completely. I popped in the Derby and started WTG. If the first shave is any indication the Vision will be getting a bunch of use!
