I hadn't used Coates Tea Tree in a while. Forgot just how good it is! Florida Water...in January? Hey, its gonna be almost 80 freakin' degrees here today!

For me, it was Tabac today, and back to the DE for a while.
Well, guess thats why traditional shaving can be such a personal, customizable thing. I'm one of those weird people who actually like the smell of tea tree (as long as its not too strong). On the other hand, I don't care for the scent of Tabac at all; though if we're on the subject of German shaving creams, I really like Speick!
The background is my Moleskine Day Planner for 2006.

Floris Cefiro EDT, shower gel, shampoo, moisturiser.

Coates Tea Tree cream (tube)

This was my first time using the Coates Tea Tree (I've used the almond before). Have to say that this stuff lathers very well and is very lubricating. The shave today was 100% irritation free.
I don't know if I'll ever use another razor other than the Futur. There just may be a big "Gillette Razor blowout sale" coming soon.

I see you stocked up on Cefiro! Good move! It is a great scent. If you fall in love with Cefiro, I believe slcsteve has a bottle of Cefiro EDP (parfum) for a very good price in the sale forum.
But for me, today, Cade soap and D&G EDT. Back to the DE for a while.

Fine, fine shave today--I've been "faceterbating" all morning . The C&E Sienna continues to impress me; I kinda wish I would've gotten the cream instead of the soap though, as the cream lather is easier to keep warm. First pass at 2.5 on the Progress, second pass at 3, and third pass at almost 4. Helluva close, comfortable shave without a nick or cut.
