A great shave this morning. The Simpsons is really quite a good cream. I don't know just why that surprised me, but it did.

Gillette Glide razor/blade

Nivea Cook Kick Arctic Freeze
Still on the road. Every shave's great (see above!). After 23 days of using the same product every day, I'm getting real close to using up this puck of TabacMWF blended soap too. I think this one will be gone and I'll be ready to start a new one early next week.

Ach Brito Glyce preshave soap
Georgetown G5 scuttle
Somerset Simpson Eagle 2 Pure (21/45)
Aramis shaving soap (vintage)
Feather AS
Treet DuraSharp (3)
Aramis Tuscany splash aftershave
A pretty good shave. The G5 keeps water and lather warmer than the G4, but at the expense of a smaller bowl, too small for lathering except with the smallest brushes. For some reason the soap didn't lather very well this morning; the lather it did produce had just fair cushion but excellent glide. The blade already is dulling. Overall a shave to match the grey morning.
