Saturday:
Gillette '58 TV Super Speed / English Wilkinson blade
Geo. F. Trumper Violet Shave Cream
Caswell-Massey Number Six Aftershave Balm
Caswell-Massey Number Six Cologne
What a fantastic shave. It was one of those shaves where all the planets are in alignment and everything just comes together. Perfect lather from the Trumper violet, combined with my trusty '58 TV and an English Wilkinson blade that had one shave under its belt to smooth things out. The Number Six was a fantastic accompaniment to the violet fragrance, and the result was a close, smooth, extremely comfortable shave.
Excelsior!
SOTD Feb. 12 - Feb. 18
NWC Sinjector with Dog's Bollocks blade
Sabrooney style 1 tiny
Arko stick
Lucky Tiger ASB toner
GFT Wellington
Just as an experiment I used an "easy" razor today instead of the feather AC. I actually ended up irritating my skin by going too fast because it seemed so easy to use. Ironic, that.

Mitchell's Wool Fat
'58 Super Speed
Derby blade

After my last shave I thought I had mastered lathering with the Wool Fat, and today's shave confirmed that it wasn't a fluke. This stuff is amazing when done right!

I've had a headache most of the day so I'm taking a photo day-off.

Kiss My Face Moisture Shave - Cool Mint

I applied the same brush technique as I learned from Mitchell's Wool Fat and I got another superior lather today. I think I may have stumbled upon lather heaven.
