Shave Cream/Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn Sandalwood Triple Milled Shave Soap + Taylor of Old Bond Street Avocado Shave Cream = Superlather
Technique: WTG/45XTG/Cleanup
Post Shave
Aftershave: Floid Italian Style Aftershave
Moisturizer: Various Emu Oil

Result: 4.6/5.0 Superlather Day! Took two "different" scents and put them together to make a nice combo. Talk about thick and rich and everything. This was like day 9 on the Feather ACD-N and it went right through everything. I'm lucky if I can get 3 days on a DE. But that superlather just made it better. I won't switch over to the unguarded blades until I use up the guarded ones first. I kep one in reserve in case. Using the ACD-N has me hunting for a wedge or 1/4 hollow even more. Full hollow ground STR8 blades are tough on me until I get better with them.

New Heirloom Strops 10 on the linen and 30 on the horse. plain and simple great strop. will try the canvas and black latigo on Sunday when i get back home.
