Razor: Wilkinson Sticky
Blade: Schick Plus Platinum
Brush: Shavemac 2007 LE
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: I Coloniali Mango Oil Shave Soap
A/S: Acca Kappa White Moss Emulsion
Another great shave. I just received the Acca Kappa aftershave emulsion in yesterday's mail and I am very impressed. It is very soothing, not overly greasy and it has a mild pleasant scent. It now has a spot in the rotation.

This is my first experience with the Queen Charlotte product, they call it "cream soap" because it's relatively hard, not Castle Forbes "hard", perhaps same texture as T&H. I have two other samples from them and I'll report back after using all three for a few shaves. Just an FYI, they offer both tallow and vegan formulations and all are paraben free if that floats yer boat.

* Well, I tried selling this brush three times to no avail. At a good price, nonetheless. So I figure, I'm meant to own it for now at least. Today's shave with it was excellent. I still find it to be a little on the floppy side, but it made a great lather, felt great on the face, and indeed has a very nice ergonomic handle.

Gillette fat-handle Tech w/ Lord Platinum blade

DR Harris Marlborough soap, splash, and EDT
Agreeing with Pauldog's impression from earlier this week: These blades shave well out of the box, but don't last long. Good for the price, but you'll burn through 'em.

Andrew, what did you think of Celestial Woods? I loved the scent but didn't get great performance. However, I'm thinking I didn't give it a fair shake...

Started off with some Tabula Rasa Dark Lavender. Wanted to love it, but couldn't get a usable lather, so I went to a standby soap. Great shave.
