The T&H Almond is not what I expected, I get better lathers and shaves out of my TOBS creams, so far I've tried the T&H with two different blades (both Gillettes).

I was very impressed with my first use of the 38C and as usual, the Nancy Boy cream provided an excellent shave.

No, this really is the SOTD picture. I had been thinking how different razors worked better on some parts of my face, so I really did use ALL this for my shave today. Pretty much in order from left to right (minus the hot towel). Proraso pre-shave scrub. Used the Dovo Shavette with a Fromm blade for the sides to just below jawline. Finished pass 1 WTG with the Slant. The Futur on 2 was used for XTG (minus the cheeks) on pass 2, and the Vision (minimal setting) for XTG/ATG on pass 3. Slant for touch-up. The lather is HoneyBee Sue's Dragon's Blood, using a BK12 and the super-sized Wal-Mart scuttle. Alum block, Thayer's, Proraso ASB (Ooops, out of order!), and finished with the Ogalllala Bay Rum. Whew! Feather blades in the three DEs.

Really, not a lot more trouble than a one-razor shave; little longer on cleanup. But it was really nice...
