iKon Bulldog Deluxe, cc
Gillette Platinum (1)
Vie Long 2012 Badger/Horse
Provence Sante Verlaine soap
Thayer's Super Hazel
Just got this Bee Hive brush, and from the amount of stink from the bristles, most of the mix must be from the horse's, er, tail. Seriously, I think I'm going to like this one. Thanks, Phil.

Gillette SuperSpeed Red Tip
Super Iridium
Kent BK8
Proraso cream (Green 2012 format sample)
Harris Pink
FTO with the new Proraso, seems to perorm as well as the current product if not better. First thing to notice is the scent, it is more forthcoming and it lasts well post shave. The lather is rich and bouyant and would easily last for 4 passes I would imagine, although I only use 2. Great cushion, great shave. IMO I think it is great and will continue to buy this again.

Wednesday morning:
Hot towel face prep
Burma Shave soap
Handcrafted badger brush
OCMM
GEM SS ptfe (9)
KF bay rum
I'm fairly certain this is a vintage soap. Whatever though, it is a very useable soap. Nice lubricity, cushiony, and lots of easily made lather.
A very very nice shave.
