Gillette B2 Red Tip SS
Derby blade, day 4
Kell's Rose shave soap
Omega 80080 boar
Thayer's witch hazel with aloe
shower
Royall Bay Rum AS/cologne

I spent 45 minutes last night trying to get a decent lather out of the Kell's. I thought I had it figured out, my best lather was made by loading a dry brush, and working up the lather in a dish, adding water as needed. When I tried it this morning, everything looked good till I put the lather on my face, where it abruptly disappeared. Maybe it has to do with body chemistry, but this stuff just doesn't work for me.

Other than the ghostly lather, the shave went well. Two passes, and out the door.
