Joel,

I love the JF soap. Found it last year when doing a search on ebay for shaving bowls. It provides a great lather and cushion for the razor, and leaves my face feeling very nice. Not as moist as Taylor's Avocado, but not as dry as most soaps. I don't use it often, but when I do, I always think I should put it in a weekly rotation.

Randy
Yep, the water here in Alabaster (as Ron loves to needle me) is amazingly hard, and I haven't ponied up for an inline water softening unit yet. So far it seems to do a good job, preventing my 2234 from gunking up nearly as badly as my SMF I was before I started salting.

Probably the best lather I have ever gotten using the SMFII so far. I know it looks skimpy in the picture, but that's after two passes, and I rub the sides of the brush against the edge of the bowl to get the lather out from inside the brush and redistribute to the tip.

Joel, I bet that brush stinks. It took two weeks to get the stank out of my Omega Pro.

Not too bad... what I do is I wash it out really well with shampoo, let it dry, then I stick it behind my air purifier. The air purifier seems to take 90% of the rank smell out. No matter what you do though - with boar it takes awhile.

Nonetheless I have been most pleased with it. It works quite well and gets the job done just fine!

Scotto,
Salter is without question my favorite brand of shaving cream. I personally find it to be the most efficacious, moisturizing, easiest to use, and closest cutting shaving cream out there. If you are a rose fan - their wild rose is THE best rose scent, bar none (of course in my opinon). Their sandalwood is also fantastically interesting.

Just as an FYI - their limes is medeocre, and the almond is nice - but the three T's have a nicer almond scent.

I was literally blown away by this Salters cream. Why oh why did I wait so long to try this brand? :001_tt1:

Scotto,

Does the Salter's mint have a cooling effect?

Aveda Rosemary Mint Shave Cream

Feather Aftershave Balm

The shavecream smell wonderful but doesn't work worth a damn. Think I'll just stock up on some Aveda Rosemary Mint Shampoo.

Joel,

I believe that is the same brush that C&E sells for $35...and yes, it is amazing. I want to know more about the Ebony EJ...like, where did you get it!

Kujo,

It's a Shavemac #22607 (http://www.shavemac.com/index.php?lang=en&area=men&sel=2&cat=4&product=22607&prod_id=7). 26mm silvertip from the handmade XL collection. It's a brush that is very easy to use because of the handle ergonomics.

I try everything, the Power Fusion works really good in my opinion. Down side is cost of the replacement blades. Yesterday I bought a pack of 8 blades for $25. What's that in the blue bottle you ask? Details later.

Yeah, the handle is what got my attention.

It has moved me and now some inner acquistion demon tells me that I must have one....:cool:

Kevin
It is very subtle and nice. Not at all like the "stick your face in a sink full of icewater" effect of Proraso.

If the Salter's doesn't, the Baxter's certainly does.
