Prep face wash L'Occitane cedarwood soap
Razor Feather DX - AC
Blade Feather Pro
Brush Rooney Heritage stubby 2
Cella crema da barba
Alum & Thayers rose & aloe toner
Kiehl's aftershave balm
Tom Ford Black Orchid Eau de parfum
A great shave at every level, the Tom Ford is a sublime scent, and the Kiehl's aftershave balm works superbly, the Feather DX is one of those razors that I'm sure once you've mastered the technique this will be the razor you will probably judge all your other razors against, and the Rooney Heritage stubby 2 would be my number 1 Badger hair brush, the hair in this brush is amazing.

Thursday
Razor | De Pews | Cream | Tabac | After Shave | Tabac | EDT | Joop! Jump
Nice shave with the De Pews this morning, the Tabac cream and aftershave were great; and the Joop! Jump EDT went quite well. I MAY be putting a little TOO much of the Joop! on, the General Manager walked in to my office today and said “Oh, what’s that smell, it smells all manly after shavey”…

I'd forgotten how incredibly cooling and moisturizing the Jabonman Lima-Mentolado soap is. What a great way to wake up on a Thursday morning! And the Kikuboshi wiped the whiskers away with nary a complaint. After two passes, I'm CBS and ready to put my nose back to the grindstone!

I can't WAIT until it's hot again! Spring is suggesting it's ready to spring, the almond trees are flowering, as are the daffodils, and there's buds JUST starting to sprout on the pear tree... Originally Posted by JoeSomebody

I've been using a lot of the alternatives lately and they're fine shaves in their own right but there really is nothing like the traditional straight razor shave. This one was fantastic, a nice leisurely BBS shave.The older I get, the better I was
