I know they're theoretically the same in terms of head geometry, but the R89 and Jagger Barley Chrome have very different feels. Perhaps due to weight/balance of head and handle, the R89 seems much more aggressive, and I've gotten so used to the EJ that I think when this blade is finished I'll probably look to unload the R89.

Tim, I meant to ask if you compared the Mühle to the Jagger, but you've already answered the question. Guess you still like those Gillette blues, a blade I should probably try soon.

Georgetown Pottery G4 scuttle
Somerset Simpson Beaufort 2 Pure (20/45)
Fitjar East Indies shaving soap
Wilkinson Sticky
Wilkinson Sword (cryogenically tempered) (1)
Abercrombie & Fitch Woods aftershave balm (vintage)
The glycerine-based Fitjar was new for me. It is OK, nothing special in its lathering qualities, and the scent is pretty overwhelming, a little too strong for me.

Tuesday: Limes again but I mixed it up
Trumper Limes Cream
Simpson 58S Brush
Gillette Super Speed 0-2
Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Platinum (Russian Black)
Trumper Limes Skin Food
Lilly of the Desert 99% Aloe Vera Gel

While Trumper Limes is excellent, I find the T&H West Indian Lime cream to be just a tad bit more viscous and luxurious. I also prefer the T&H scent.

Chris, couple of comments/questions: is the bay rum a recent addition to the den? How do you like it?
Also, how much EO are you adding to your Valobra stucks?
Tim, sorry for the delayed answer. I've had the bay rum for a while. In fact, I think I picked it up from you as memory serves. It wasn't my cup of tea initially but it has grown on me. So thanks.
As for the EO in the Valobra, a fair amount, but I really like a stronger scent. Probably 10+ drops. I guess I am trying to exorcise too many years of eau de goo in a can.

Got a strong compliment on this scent tonight from a woman who while she is not 'young' is considerably younger than me. That's two in one week, one regarding Trumpers Spanish Leather and now this, so, there are clearly younger women who appreciate these older style scents. Good for them!....and me...
