Wednesday:

PannaCrema Labdano Cream
Simpsons #56B Brush
Gillettel Fatboy adjustable E-2
Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge
Thayer's Medicated WH
Lily Of The Desert 00% Aloe Vera Gelly
Alpa Fougere

Not a very good shave with the Panna today. Firstly its hard to load my brush with this croap do to the small container. Secondly the scent isn't too great. Worst of all I couldn't get close on my neck and as a result did too many passes resulting in some irritation.
Cheers,

Craig

Wednesday evening

PannaCrema Libanese soap
Semogue 2000
Cobra Classic SE
Kai blade

That's it!

Regarding PannaCrema, nice post shave feel, long lasting lather, and the woody Libanese fragrance is world class. I have found the PC fragrances (I have 4 to choose from) are unique, and do take a little bit of time to get used to, as does anything different. To my nose, Libanese seems to be a richly gentle variation on cedar wood. (Cedars of Lebanon, thus the name Libanese?) I've used Fumo di Londra a few times also, and when I looked up what it means (London Smoke), I laughed because it is indeed smoky, with a pleasing note of some sort. I'm looking forward to getting the Nemaste and Labdano fragrances sorted out over time. I'm also posting this on the creams and soaps thread.
