Pretty decent shave. I'm still learning the whole shave cream thing. I really need some more practise on making a good lather. The Olivia cream is very good. It smells heavenly and I REALLY want a cologne that is scented like it. The shave wasn't as good as with the TGQ cream so far. But that might be because I need some more practise in lathering the stuff.

I DO want some similar scented cologne however. And I I can't get any I'll make it myself!!

Just a beautiful shave and no sting anywhere from alum or A/S. First one back home after a week of hotel shaving with travel razors and Palmolive cream.

Several days w/o shave

The Rauh (little known, old Solingen brand) went through the Norton 4K, Belgian natural, escher, and CrO2. This steel felt extremely smooth on the face: 9+ / 10

Back to Little Cutie, to complement the pretty MOP inlay on the razor scale. Very aesthetically appealing tools with top functionality! Nothing like using a quality super silvertip ivory-handled brush - can't believe I let it rest so long with my vintage escapades...

Amazing shave. Learned a few things:

The right amount of cream makes it a lot better.

The supersilvertip is AMAZING. I didn't know a brush could feel that nice.

A strop needs a certain breaking in period. This was the second time I'd used Outram's strop and it's a lot better now. I really like it.
