Monday
Muhle R89 with Derby
Semogue 1305 boar
Kiss My Face shave cream: Unscented
BullDog aftershave balm
Simple kit. Really nice. I've been favoring the KMF unscented over the TOBS Sandalwood SC lately. KMF is the best bang for the buck, even over TOBS. Super cheap, locally bought, lathers like a champ, shaves real smooth.
I'm continuing enjoy the Semogue boar. It's been a few weeks and I definitely prefer it over my Omega, although that has mostly to do with the handle rather than the knot.

Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Merkur 23C
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Brush: Omega 31025 "Scarlatti" Boar
Soap or Cream: Mitchell's Wool Fat
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Alt Innsbruck Splash
A superb shave this morning. This was only the second shave with the Omega, and it handled the MWF lathering challenge with aplomb. I generally prefer bowl lathering, and used that technique today. However, just out of interest, the next time I use MWF with this brush I'm going to try face lathering.

Tuesday AM
Dirty Bird 1.5 scuttle
Homemade frankincense & myrrh preshave oil
Somerset Simpson Polo 8 Super brush
Penhaligon's Opus 1870 shaving cream
Wilkinson Sticky razor
Iridium Super blade (2)
T&H Ultimate Comfort aftershave balm
Creed Himalaya EdT sample
A great shave. The Polo is a favorite. The Pen's cream is really good, the IS blade is almost as good in the Sticky as the vintage British blades, and the Himalaya, while not quite as good for me as the Original Santal, was nice.
