Razor: EJ Chatsworth
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow
Brush: Simpson Colonel X2L
Cream: TOBS Lavender
A/S: Generic Witch Hazel, Proraso Balm
A nice, DFS+ shave this morning. The Gillette 7OCY is a nice blade, in my personal top 3. I'm a big fan of TOBS creams, and the lavender is a favorite. The Colonel, which is a brush I generally use with soaps, worked up a great lather (easy to do with TOBS, I know). And the Proraso balm felt really good on this rather raw and damp day. So I'm a very happy camper!

Truefitt & Hill Luxury Shave Soap
Thayer's Peach Witch Hazel
DR Harris Arlington Cologne
The peach witch hazel is a decent aftershave. The peach scent fades quickly, and the formula does not sting. The label claims that there is an astringent effect, as well. If there is, it's quite mild. It's certainly no replacement for an alum block, for those who are keen on closing up the pores.

La Toja shave stick
Thayers Astringent WH w/ aloe
Musgo Real a/s balsam
Floris Vetiver Edt
A DFS this morning...The LaToja stick works well with the Semogue as does the Fat Boy and 7 OCY. I like the heft of the Fat Boy as it makes it easy to not put any pressure on my face as I shave. The Floris is , well, is just a well balanced fragrance.
