Bruno, Glad to hear that the Tulip finally arrived. Nice, ain't they?
Thursday:
Gillette Superspeed & Swedish Gillette ( and 150 strokes, okay?! )
Simpson Tulip #3
Taylors Almond shave cream ( old )
D R Harris's A/S Milk ( old )
Trumpers Spanish Leather
Excellent combination of top drawer classic stuff, and a fine shave.

This is the second time with the "Florena in the shower trick"...and both times best shaves ever, no weepers, zero irritation.
Usually my neck will get a few weepers, nothing major but this pre-shave routine seems to be gold jerry...gold
Pre-Shave: A tiny dab of Florena on the palm and made a lather, applied to face...rinsed
Razor: Gillette Adjustable Black Handle on #4
Blade: Wilkinson Sword (Germany)
Brush: Omega Boar
Soap/Cream: Tom's Calendula (why can't I get this in CAN)
A/S: Polar Ice
A/SB: the body shop
Have a great/safe long weekend

Yes, we had to wait for them to get made.bernards66 wrote:Bruno, Glad to hear that the Tulip finally arrived. Nice, ain't they?
It's an amazing brush, more similar to the Plisson than the Rooney finest. Firm, yet soft to the face, and the right size. Not too big , not too small.Bruno

Once again the familiar travel kit:
Gillette nickel Tech w/ Israeli No-name
Vulfix 2234S
AOS Lavender cream in a tube
Proraso ASB
C&E Sienna EDT
Once again, an excellent shave. Imagine that! I'm thinking about developing a new theory of shaving, called "Fidelity." I'd post about it, except I arrived home today, and I want to try some different things tomorrow. Why, I don't know.

Friday:
Gillette '58 TV Super Speed / Gillette "Swede"
Coates Lime Shave Cream
D.R. Harris Arlington Aftershave Milk (old form.)
Another fantastic shave with this combination. I don't think I can do any better than this.
The pot of Coates Lime is almost gone - perhaps four shaves left. I have one pot in reserve, but before I use that, I'll use up the pot of Castle Forbes Lime I have. Coates, I hardly knew ye.

Sabrooney finest 1/2
Trumper's Violets soap
Lucky Tiger Tonic
Crusella's Lavanda cologne
I went back to a three pass shave today, after a while of two pass shaves. The three pass is definitely closer - wedding day close, you might say. The two pass is still up to the standards of BBS-ness, however.
