Palmolive soap stuck
Mühle 89 & 7 O'Blue
Thayer's aswh splash
Lashings of Vettiveru
The brush is just not my bag. It works well enough, but it's just...well, it's just there. Obligatory hair dump in its maiden voyage added to the annoyance, but overall, just not a love connection.

Saturday:
Axe Chilled Facial Wash
#6 Horsehair
Super Speed/7 AM day 6
Aspis Ice Rain SC
Svoboda AS Balsam
Alt Innsbruck AS
Azzaro Pour Homme EDT
Bulgaria was once again my choice of shaving cream this morning - the Aspis Ice Rain smells so nice and gives enough lather for five guys to shave with. I wouldn't call it a face-freezer, but it does have a sufficient amount of menthol in it to give a noticeable cooling sensation. Thanks so much, my dear friend Veli in Varna. After the shave I stopped off in Russia for some Svoboda balsam which gave my skin some additional cooling and soothing. Another dear friend named Dmitry sent me that wonderful stuff. Finally my shaving journey ended with a splash of Alt Innsbruck from Austria. Wow, am I ever BBS. (and do I ever smell nice!)

Shave Secret preshave oil
Moss Slate Anniversary scuttle
Somerset Simpson Duke 3 Best (24mm/45mm)
Klar Kabinett shaving soap (sample - thanks, Dale)
Feather AS-D1
Schick Plus Platinum (9)
Penhaligon's Hammam Bouquet aftershave balm
The Klar Kabinett lathered well, and it produced fair cushion and excellent glide, even with a well-used blade. Its scent is quite interesting, and although not exactly like the Hammam (and even the HB balm is not exactly like the HB splash aftershave), it makes for a good combination.
