How do you like the DC cream and EdT?

It really is a very nice scent. It has a predominant rose note so you have to like rose to enjoy it. The cream and cologne scents match better than any other such combination that I've tried.

SOTD Tuesday May 11, 2010

Razor: 9/16 Late Greaves Wedge French Pt.
Soap/Mug: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush: Omega Boar
ASB: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Clubman ASL

First shave with the Greaves Wedge (thanks MrDavid) and definitely not the last! This beauty has to be the smoothest shaver I've used so far. With my full beard, the 9/16 size and French Point is perfect for trimming the beard line under the jaw and shaping the upper cheek beard line as well. I am constantly amazed that instruments 160+ years old can still give shaves that challenge their modern brothers! Kudos to Undream for his beautiful restoration work on the blade and the black horn scales made to vintage specs.! The shaving "software" used reflected the Historical theme of this mornings shave. I am a happy man, life is good!

Chris,

Now I know where that Hess Hairmilk Laboratories razor went that I was eyeing. I'm pleased to know that it now has a good home. Congratulations.
