Monday:

Gold Tech w/ Israeli blade (1)
Semogue 1305 boar brush
SCS Bay Rum SC
TOBS Bay Rum
[Clubman Bay Rum]

First time with the Israelis from Carrefour. They did pretty well but I suspect the merit is all on SCS cream: it is so moisturizing that even a blunt knife would slide on my skin.
The TOBS Bay Rum doesn't have much of a staying power, so I splashed some Clubman Bay Rum as a Cologne.

Cheers everyone,
VaRese

Third time with a feather was again very close; in fact dfs/bbs with only 2 (or 2.5) passes. Still more nicks than I get with any other blade though. Once I've used the feathers for a while I'll go back to my favourite green 7 o'clocks (also super-sharp) to see how they compare
