Good morning. Tuesday:
Jaggerooney w/Dorco 301, #3
Emillion
Bath House Spanish Fig & Nutmeg soap
Thayer's Lavender witch hazel
Fitjar East Indies A/S Balm
Pinaud Clubman
I was inspired by the recent thread on the topic and finally decided to try the stuff. Very classic barbershop scent. It passed the SWMBO-test. A definite bargain. Now to find some Vegetal.

Pre: Proraso Crema Pre Barba
Razor: Cobra Classic + Feather Professional (12)
Brush: Wet Shaving Products Stubby Superfine 26/52
Soap: Martin de Candre Fougère (1)
AS: Krampert's Finest Menthol
First use of the new Stubby Superfine WSP brush and the Fougére MdC. Both were simply superb. The new WSP Stubby gives me what I love about my Monarch SuperFine but with what I find to be the perfect amount of backbone. Definitely not a lather hog, but we all know how easily MdC loads and lathers. The Fougére scent is amazing. Martin de Candre certainly know how to make a great shave soap and amazing scents.

Razor: New York Shaving Company Stout
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
Brush: Omega Hi-Performance Synthetic (barber pole)
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Geo F. Trumper Violet
Scuttle: Ladysea Scuttle
A/S: Mr. Taylor
An excellent shave. The Omega brush took a little getting used to as the loft is higher than I generally use. It easily ginned up the lather from the Trumper soap and I had enough lather for 4 passes. Color me impressed. This was also my first use of the NYSC Stout razor. It is solidly built and is moderately aggressive -more aggressive than an Edwin Jagger razor and similar to a 34C in my opinion.

Tuesday:
Mike's Natural Soap Rose & Cedar-Sample
Jagger/Bigelow Best Badger Brush
Gillette Super Speed O-4
Gillette Platinum (Surrey)
Thayer's Aloe WH
Lily of the Valley 99% Aloe Vera Jelly
Trumper Curzon Cologne
My first shave with Mike's Natural Soap, and boy did it make lather! These pictures were from after two passes. Lather had good cushion and decent glide. This is my first soft soap, and I need to perfect my technique with this type of soap.
