Slant/Feather (making the blade rounds with the new slant)
Shavemac 26 mm Silvertip
SCS Very V cream
J/A/S/O/N AS gel
SCS Oakmoss Lavendula EDT
Gotta say I LOVED the first pass with the Feather. Then when I went ATG and OTG--it was a more than a bit iffy; as if I am driving a big floating luxury car on a winding road rather than a sports coupe with more of a road feel to it. Strange--my preference may zoom back to the Merkur blade for both the HD and the Slant. I feel so alone--it seems so few enjoy the Merkur blade--yet I do.

Fingers/Vulfix 2234
NB Shave Cream - 1st Pass
Salters Sandalwood - 2nd Pass
Polar Ice Splash
I applied the NB brushless for the 1st pass (WTG). I applied the Salters brushelss and then lathered directly on the face with the damp brush for the 2nd pass (ATG).
It may just be coincidence but this is the smoothest two pass shave I've ever gotten.

Nice scent to the Booster Aquarius splash... I admit that the C&E cream and balm are scented quite strongly, but since I enjoy the scent so much, I don't seem to mind it.
Good shave today. Not one of the best, but definitely good. Time to change my blade.

Pretty good shave. This was my maiden voyage with the Trafalgar. The lather was typical high quality. I enjoyed the scent a little more than I thought I would. It hung around for a little while though and combined with the WIL ASB scent. They didn't really clash but they didn't compliment either. I'll have to keep this in mind when selecting ASBs in the future.

Aqua Velva Ice Blue After Shave
This was my first shave with SCS soap and I was really impressed. Lather started exploding after the fourth or fifth swirl. This is also my second attempt at trying a feather blade as the first round left me feeling like I had been attacked by a chain saw. It went a bit better this time, no cuts, but still not comfortable. The aftershave stung for the first time in a couple weeks. I will be going back to the derbys tomorrow.
