Merkur 33C w/ Wilkinson White Label (4) Simpson's Wee Scot Best Badger Brush Castle Forbes Lime S/C Shavex Alum Bar Acqua di Selva A/S Acqua di Selva Cologne An exceptionally nice shave this morning. The Castle Forbes S/C is a bit on the expensive side, but it will last forever, especially with the Wee Scot's tiny appetite for cream. --Previous Message-- : Good Tuesday morning all... : : '51 Black tip w/ Kai blade : Trumpers superbadger : Tabac ss : Thayers Original WH w/ aloe : Murray & Lanman Florida water : Nivea asb : SCS Sandalwood Edt : : I always forget how much I like the : Tabac...great lather and effective medium : for any razor/blade combination... : : Nathan :

Merkur long handle barber pole razor Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge (yellow) Rooney Emillion brush Kiss My Face Lavender (great lather, but not as lubricating as I remembered. little too much water perhaps?) Skin Bracer Cool Spice A couple of hours later added some CO Bigelow Bay Rum aftershave balm. Bath & Body Works is having a sale and I got the bay rum a/s at 75% off. Wanted their bay rum cologne but they didn't have any in stock. Also 2-for-1 sale on the other CO Bigelow aftershaves & colognes and I couldn't turn down two of the small tubes of CO Bigelow (Proraso) shave cream for $5. Question (unanswered from yesterday): do you make your lather before the hot towel and let it sit in your bowl, or do you make the lather after the hot towel? My compromise the past few days has been to load my brush before, but make the lather afterwards.
