Razor: Dovo Bismarck
Brush: Simpson t4
Lather: D.R. Harris Marlborough shave cream
Aftershave: Truefitt & Hill Trafalgar AS
Drink: Stoli Vanil
Some things that I learned from this shave: 1.) Used brushes are a great way to increase your brush selection while being easy of the pocket book. 2.) I whipped up my lather with too much water which resulted in a thin lather that looked good in the bowl, but lousy on the face.Last edited by BDom; 11-23-2009 at 04:09 AM. Reason: I forgot to list the drink; probably because of the drink.

Why thank you, I know what you mean about the scales, I find them strangely attractive too, and in use it feels very solid, I am not too informed when it comes to Globusmen but I imagine it is a high end product.

manah, how do you find Truefitt and Hill pre-shave? I've yet to try it but I like the T&F creams and aftershaves I've tried.
