T&H west indian limes cream
6/8 WB 3 passes
thayers unscented witch hazel (you are all right.. this stuff is great)
T&H WIL aftershave balm

Shower,
Conditioner on beard
WUG 6/8
Homemade brush
Outram strop
TGQ Oak and Moss cream
Sanex aftershave balm
King of shaves moisterizer.

Excellent, although I did get distracted by a sudden noise and nicked myself.

Wed:

Rooney small style 1 brush
Gold-Dachs Spezial soap
Illinois #127 strop
5/8 C-Mon "Cadillac" (new production)
No a/s

The C-Mon is a new production example that I'd lay money is produced by Dovo. It's a surprisingly attractive razor for $52, with a gold wash shank and tail, and a gold wash logo on the blade, and 3-pin scales. It took a decent (but not spectacular) edge, and I got a good shave from it though with one small nick on my jaw because I forgot to dehorn the modified spike tip. I'll give it a few more days and see how the edge holds up.

T&H 1805 Creme (free sample, first try)
Moss Scuttle
T&H Ultimate Comfort After-Shave Balm


Just one pass, in a bit of a hurry today...close on cheeks, chin, upper lip, neck a bit rough. The 1805 was a good cream, a little more astrigent on my skin than the Taylor's Rose or Avocado I've been using regularly.
