C&E BBB
Speick sc
Thayers Cucumber WH w/ aloe
Speick a/s
Musgo Real a/s balsam
Acqua di Selva Edt

An excellent shave this morning with the Genco, a razor that I took from bevel setting to shave ready under the tutelage and watchful eye of JoeD (TY mang!). The Speick cream is great as is the after shave and the Musgo Real balm is as good as it gets IMHO. The Acqua di Selva is the icing on the cake.

Tuesday, 7.20.10

Cool water splash
Gentleman's Best Signature Series Shave Soap
Kent B&B LE 2009 Badger
Pumacker Black Diamond 11/16ths
Tony Miller strop 35 Linen/70 Latigo

The Pumacker razor and Ivy Club (Dollar store) AS team up to prove once again that expensive equipment is not needed to enjoy a great shave!

Thank you kindly sir. I love that razor. I bought it a month or two ago from Bob (Lz6 on SRP).

As for the T&H pre-shave, I do not use it that often, but when I do, it does work great...smooth glide for an entire pass .

Your post reminded me of this, I have not shaved with it in quite a while and very glad that I did tonight. Thank you!
