Edwin Jagger Medium Super Badger Brush
SCS Tea Tree Shaving Cream
Moss Scuttle
First use of SCS shaving cream, and it was a great shave! The Tea Tree scent is fantastic. The only other pure Tea Tree scented product I have is Bronners liquid soap, and this smells so much better!
An excellent shave, even with a 5th shave on the blade.

I figured I would give the abomination from Treet one more shot just in case it was my prep or something that made last shave awful...but no, it was the blade.

The Institut Karite is definitely a keeper. It doesn't have much of a scent but it makes some of the best lather I've ever had for a shave.
A little too yellow.. still working on my lighting.
