Muhle R41/ Rapira
Thater '1' Silvertip
GFT Sandalwood
Nivea balm
Continue to be impressed by the Rapira blades; as good as my faves (yellow 7 o'clock), and have good (a week-ish) longevity.

TS, I loaded the brush heartily today; foam frothing over the bowl - the results were similar; a lather that holds too much air and not enough water. 'Crisp' is a good description.Thalay Sagar wrote:Louis, I'm with you on Trumper's veggie soaps. I find that they require a heavy hand loading the brush only to be rewarded with a lather that is too crisp for my tastes.

Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Merkur Progress
Blade: Ladas Super Stainless
Brush: Vulfix 2234 Super
Soap or Cream: Proraso Cream
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Proraso Balm
A very comfortable and refreshing Saturday shave. I like a bit of menthol occasionally, even in the colder months of the year--wakes me up and gives me a jump start.

Razor: GIBBS Click Pen
Blade: Super Iridium
Brush: Semogue Owners Club Badger
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Cream: Trumper Coconut
A/S: Floris Santal
I ended up adopting a SOC Badger brush...I am weak. It looks like this brush will be perfect for face lathering...it has really good back bone, soft tips and excellent flow through. I enjoted an excellent shave followed by a splash of Floris Santal, a favorite.

Hmm, read the posts, mine is missing. Busy this morning, I forgot/didn't have time to post. I did have time to shave however.
Semogue 1438
VDH
Gillette Black Handle SS
Polsilver Super Iridium (2)
bay rum
I couldn't believe it, a super comfortable 2 pass BBS with touchups with a BH SS! Could it be the blade? Whatever it was, I could use this combo and not tire of it.
One fantastically close shave. As I faceturbate, the shave isn't quite as close at the moment as it would have been with a Slim or OCMM, but it's really close. Yup, great shave!
