Andrew, very nice set up. How do you like that Trumper razor? BTW, who makes it?

John, the razor is really a rebranded Edwin Jaggar/Merkur head. It is a great razor. I find it the right weight and good balance.

Stan, That's an unusually nice looking Simpson Chubby, I think.

Johnnie, I concur with Andrew, and in fact, he was kind enough to loan me that very razor to try for awhile. While I'm not a big fan of Merkurs, that version was very nice. Great feel in the hand, and fine balance.

Thursday:
Gillette original Superspeed & Tesco blade
Simpson Tulip #3
Coate's Sandalwood shave cream

Merkur Vision w/Derby Extra
Rooney Style 1 - 26mm Super
Kent Woolfat Soap (Dry, Rusty lather for reduction passes)
Hydrolast Shave Paste (Finishing passes)
Jojoba Oil (Finishing passes)
The Gentlemen's Refinery Aftershave Balm
Nancy Boy Daily Replenishing Moisturizer
Geo F. Trumper - Coral Skin Food (post moisturizer sealant)

Well tried Richard's dryer lather...not sure I had the absolute right consistency (perhaps a tad too dry) so I have to work on it a bit - but the result was very good. I'm also flipping on this TGR Balm!! Outstanding!

I'll be trying this combination for the balance of the week!

Yes, very nice Jim. B&W is something I have to try experimenting with. I've dabbled a little in the past, but I am never happy with the results.
