SATURDAY:
Prep: Hot towel treatment
Razor: ’56 Gillette Super Speed
Blade: Gillette 7 O’clock SharpEdge (Yellow)
Brush: Rooney 1/2 Silvertip
Soap/Cream: MWF
A/S: TGR Standard Balm
Moss Scuttle
Musgo Real No. 3
SOTD: June 1st thru June 7th , 2009
Gillette '58 TV w/ Astra Superior Platinum blade
Tom's Calendula cream
Proraso brush
Woods o' Windsor AS splash
My wife gave me the cream a few years ago for my birthday; I found it last Wednesday while organizing my blade inventory (yes, I know that sounds pathetic, like Jon in a Garfield Minus Garfield cartoon). The cream shaves very well, so naturally, it's been discontinued, by the look of Tom's website.

"D" Day 65th Anniversay
F2 Superspeed w/Derby
Shavemac Horn D01
Moss Scuttle
Valobra Shave Stick
Aqua Velva Ice Blue A/S
I didn't really need to shave today...but did so to relax and indulge. Nothing fancy though, just nice, clean and fresh!
Also, and more importantly, took the time to remember all those that fought for our freedom 65 years ago today and especially the 14,000 Canadian troops that stormed Juno Beach.

Saturday:
1971 Gillette LHSA w/Swedish Gillette blade
T&H Carleton (small) Super Badger
LaToja shave cream
Dickinson's witch hazel w/lavender EO and glycerin added
Trumper Coral Skinfood
Carven Vetiver
The LaToja cream is one of several samples Tim (TBoner) kindly sent. After one try with it, I'm going on record to say that it's good stuff. Smells like the soap, but more intense, provides decent cushion and fine skincare.

Sunday
Gillette Gold Tech
Gillette "Swede"
Simpson's Best Badger Special
D.R. Harris Arlington Shaving Soap
Musgo Real a/s splash.*
*I still have a sample of this. It hit's your face and goes all gooey, but once on it does the business.
[Edit] I had to wash the Musgo off mid-afternoon as my face had become very oily/greasy.
