Prep: Hot shower
Brush: New Forest silvertip knot in old barbers handle
Razor: Max Sprecher
Soap: Floris, no: 89
AS: Floris, Elite
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Excellent
Floris soap seems to have a narrow sweet spot, but it's a nice soap never the less, I think - good cover, nice scent and overall good quality, in short.

Thursday
I tried the C O Bigalow cream this morning that arrived from the US last night. Quite a nice cream. I do realise that one needs to take the time to get familiar with a cream or soap, and a judgement can't be made on the first attempt, but I like it. However, I'm already wondering what Proraso and
C O Bigalow would be like in an Überlather. I checked out the ingredients quickly and I think they're pretty similar; but with differing quantities. I'm not sure if the scent is exactly the same or not; I don't think it is...
The W&B performed very well, only one pass (WTG), and while not completely BBS, quite adequate.
I noticed the Proraso Liquid Cream AS is getting low. I'm not sure if I'll buy some more or not. I really would like to get some Proraso AS splash before the Proraso Liquid Cream AS finished, just so I can have that 100% Proraso shave; Proraso Pre-Shave, Proraso soap (and/or C O Bigalow), Proraso Liquid Cream AS and Proraso AS Splash...
Have a good rest of the week, everyone!

I've noticed as couple of new guys posting on SOTD; that's good to see!

Today a full Floris Santal. My home is going to smell good for the rest of the day. Pils razor is not my favorite. Dosen't work fine with an used blade. Used for a non necesary "pass against hair" but I like a BBS.
Salu2.
Indesio.
