Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Feather (used twice, and 'corked' today)
Brush: Pure Badger
Cream: T&H Ultimate
A/S: witch hazel, OAS rosewater
I read up a bit on 'blade corking' after yesterday's massacre, and tried it this morning. Much, much better. Seems to take the harsh edge off the blade. Still very sharp, but not as likely to dig in. A very good shave today.

I've been on the Mama Bear soap Kick the past few weeks and I'm really getting the hang of soap lather...I gotta say I'm enjoying it more than the cream right now.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Gillette Executive & Swedish Gillette blade
Simpson Polo #8 Best
Trumpers Almond shave cream ( old )
D R Harris's Pink A/S
Trumpers Spanish Leather
Note: I was fortunate enough to receive this striking razor a while back from Dominic. These US made Executives are not commom. Visually they look very similiar to the British made model #66. A great razor, but like most of the other high end Gillettes from that era, Aristocrats and such, it was a little too aggressive for me. So, when I had to return Richard's HD Rocket, I just went back to my standard '40s style Superspeed. But then, enter Bill ( aka 'Trumperman' ). He believed that he could tweek the Executive such that it would be a milder shaver, more like the SS or that Rocket I had. And, by George!...he seems to have succeeded. The Executive now seems to shave smooth as silk, and is milder then it was. If today's experiance holds up, it will become my new day-to-day razor. Good work, Bill!
