No shave today.
I wish you gents a fantastic rest of the week. I will not be around, as I have tons of family coming into town to celebrate my sister's marriage. I'll be back next week with (hopefully) 3 or 4 new-to-me razors, providing the USPS cooperates.

-Today's Shave-
Prep: Warm Shower and Caswell-Massey Sandalwood Pre-shave Oil
Brush: Semogue 830
DE: Gillette
Razor: Zorrik
Cream: Caswell-Massey Sandalwood
Toner: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Post: Cold Towel and Skincado Combat-Ready Balm
A nice quick and easy shave today. I did not start using a DE until a month or so after using a straight. I finally got the Gillette nice and shiny so I decided to use it today. The Zorrik blades were given as a sampler. They were OK. I think I am leaning towards Derby's or 7 o'clocks now. What made this shave interesting was the copious amounts of lather that the Caswell-Massey produced today. I have not tried a lot of creams but this one has to be the densest I have tried. I treated it like a soap and really loaded the brush. It took a lot of water but the process yielded good results. I think the stiffness of the Semoque helped me load the cream. I could never do that with a Silvertip. Poor little fella. Have a good day all! Thanks for all pics!
