ps...oops didn't mean to post thrice

Hot shower
Trumpers coconut (sample)
Black King 5/8 square point
New tony miller #1 strop
Styptic pencil (twice)
multiple swear words
TAZGMSC aftershave (I love this stuff)
Royall Lyme

Not a big fan of the trumper's coconut, I probably won't even use the rest of my little sample jar. Also I was a bit groggy this morning (I normally shave in the evenings) and managed to nick myself twice with this laser sharp razor that Joe honed for me. I think I'll go back to shaving in the evening.

Hot Shower

6/8 Morley spike
Vulfix 374 silvertip
Tony Miller strop
Taylor's Lavender cream
Michelsens Bay Rum

If I had to choose just one cream it would be
Taylor's Lavender, I love this stuff.

The Morley is starting to become my favorite
razor as well.

Too lazy for all the details, but I just had to say I had my last shave with my Böker today. It's hummin' and going to be my FIL's Fathers' Day present along with one of Tony's strops and some C&R Nomad soap. That was the first razor I ever ordered (second I recieved) and I hope he likes it.

Get father day's shave

Hot shower
Synthetic cheap no-name brush
C&E sienna soap
Kronpunkt 4/8 (had to touch it up lightly on the hone)
Tony Miller paddle strop
Soapwolf's #1 aftershave
Soapwolf's rose "skin food" replacement

Didn't have enough growth to do the shave justice today but I wanted to get started testing Mary's (Soapwolf) stuff like I promised. Also, touched up the kronpunkt with a few licks on the hone and needed to check it. Doesn't pass the HHT but it shaves really well. Used the cheap synthetic brush I have stashed at the fiancee's house which is ok, it works really well with hard soaps but not so good with creams.

Hot shower
Proraso soap, inexpensive Boar bristle brush
8/8 W&B For Barber Use
Aloe Vera Gel

3 minutes hot towel soak
Proraso lather application
60 laps on Illinois strop
Re-lather with Proraso
2 pass shave

The W&B makes the shave seem so simple, and the Proraso is just great! Love the smell, and the lather is so slick it's hard to believe.

Really nice shave, and very comfortable.
