•Proraso red tub soap
•Kingsley badger brush

Proraso with sandalwood to start. The Weber is a very efficient razor and gives a close shave. The Classic Vanilla is a great finish.

•D R Harris Windsor soap
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•Gillette black handle Super Speed
•Gillette 7 o’clock Platinum blade (2)

•Tabac!
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•iKon open comb head with Shavecraft bulldog handle
•Shark Super Chrome blade (3)
•Pinaud Clubman aftershave
Tabac is a great start with thick easy to build lather and a scent that is solid and classic (and I can’t describe it).
The iKon head is configured to provide an efficient and close shave.
Clubman is a great finish to any shave.
I am waiting for the iKon Slant. Maybe Thursday. Phil at Bullgoose has been great with keeping me informed.
I also have a Fatboy on the way. It is going to be a good week.

•D R Harris Windsor soap
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•Weber polished head with bulldog handle
•Shark stainless blade (2)
•Lucky Tiger Bay Rum
Windsor is a great soap and a great scent. The EverReady brush is a bit of a problem. It loses about 10 hairs a day. At that rate, it won’t last very long.
The Weber with the Shark blade works very well.
Lucky Tiger Bay Rum finished the shave with a great bay scent.

•Van Der Hagen soap
•EverReady c40 boar brush
•Gillette Standard (old type) 1917
•Gillette Silver Blue Blade (4)
•Mennen Skin Bracer
The van Der Hagen soap works adequately for me. The old type is an efficient razor. A great finish with Skin Bracer.

•Arko stick soap
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•Cobra Classic Razor
•Kai Captain Titan Mild blade (5)
•Pinaud Clubman aftershave
The Cobra Classic is still my number one razor. I get a fast, easy, close and fast shave. I do experience minor difficulty in shaving the area just under my nose.
The Arko stick produces a great lather with little effort. Finishing with Clubman…it’s going to be a great day.

•Proraso cream
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•Gem Micromatic Open Comb razor
•Gem stainless steel blade
•Mennen Skin Bracer Winter Spice aftershave
The Micromatic Open Comb is my favorite razor. (Don’t tell my other favorites, the Cobra, the iKons, the Weber, the slant).
The air here in Trenton has a Fall like crispness. Proraso menthol and Skin Bracer Winter Spice seems appropriate.

•D R Harris Windsor soap
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•iKon open comb head and bulldog handle razor
•Shark Super Chrome blade (2)
•Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla
Second day with the iKon Shark combination. The Windsor soap provides excellent lubrication. The razor is a bit on the aggressive side, so I need to watch my technique.
Classic Vanilla is a great way to end a shave.

•Pre De Provence soap
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•Ikon Open Comb head, Bulldog handle
•Shark Super Chrome blade (1)
•Pinaud Clubman aftershave
The iKon Open Comb is a great razor. Added to my toolbox is the Bulldog Handle. The handle I bought with the OSS head was too long for my liking. The Bulldog handle is just right for me.
Pre De Provence is always a refreshing soap. The OC razor worked efficiently with the Shark Super Chrome.
The Clubman is always a great finish. A scent that you might remember from childhood, a visit to the barber, a scratchy neck from the hair, …and the scent of Clubman.
