Geo. F. Trumper's Lime Shaving Soap
Semogue OC
Merkur Futur
Wilkinson Sword
D.R. Harris Arlington Aftershave
I find a clear difference in how my face feels after the Harris Aftershave compared to the Trumper's and find the Harris superior. I guess it's the added glycerin

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
1964 Macys badger
Schick adjustable injector type M/ Personna Tungsten 74
Surrey SS (older version)
Lucky Tiger AS & face tonic
Jean Desprez 'Versaille' Pour Homme
Excellent shave this morning using my favorite injector model. I set this one on #4 and the thing just whacks the hell outta them whiskers.
First time using these vintage blades and they are quite nice. Very sharp and smooth, and I understand these will last for many shaves. We'll see what happens, but so far so good.
BBS results,
Martin

Good morning. Friday:
jaggerooney w/Dorco 301, #2
Ehsan
Vintage Blades soap
Thayer's Lavender witch hazel
Harris Pink
Pen's Extract of Limes
I haven't used the Vintage Blades soap in a while. The lather reminded me strongly of that I get with the Floris No. 89.

Razor: EJ Chatsworth
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Brush: Vulfix 2234 Super
Cream: TOBS Avocado (old formula)
A/S: Generic Witch Hazel, Ogallala Bay Rum & Sandalwood Toner
BBS shave this morning with one of my favorite creams. Topped it off with the Ogallala BR&S toner, which provided an excellent finish. I'm still enjoying the scent more than an hour later.

A quick turnaround from yesterday's late afternoon shave led me to the mild Tech and a first time use of the Polsilver blade. I managed three passes with the Speick lather and left myself with a fantastic result. A BBS shave this morning with a great Acqua di Selva finish.

Razor: Gillette 46-47 Aristocrat
Blade: Iridium (1st shave)
Pre-Shave: AOS Lavender Oil
Cream: TOBS Lemon Lime
Brush: Vulfix 660
Toner: Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel (Non-Alcohol)
A/S: Floid Soave (Spanish)
Another outstading shave, first time I've tried the Spanish Floid Soave. This version of Floid has a higher concentration of menthol and a bit more fragrance than the standard Italian version I had been using. Highly reccomended!!
