I know Sue Day is on the 16th but I figure I would give them the whole week

Merkur HD w/ Derby Blade
Omega Boar Brush (don't tell my wife I am not using my $115 brush)
Mama Bear Marauders Citrus SS w/ Saint Charles Shave Shaving Cream (Sue-per Lather)
Mama's "no stink" Summer After Shave Milk
Saint Charles Shave Bay Rum with a Twist (or Lime with a Spice) EDT.

That is my shave of the week, Hope you like it.

Ah, second in thread

5+ (who's counting) days' beard
Omega boar
CADE cream (POS lottery)
Trumper's Violet soap
Vintage Russia Shell Select etc.
RW custom
Trumper's alum
Trumper's CSF

Enjoyed this shave and still amazed by the RW

CADE cream is hit or miss - may or may not lather. I happened to get the POS product - but luckily was aware of the danger (thanks to B&B) and just got a sample. Definitely ask for a sample before you buy!

Trumper's violet soap is not my favorite, but was still miles above this CADE cream. (The CADE soap is better than the T's Violet, fwiw)

Been playing with the boars, just to re-evaluate the Plisson HMW. Gotta give it to the Omega - if used well it will serve one very well, indeed, unless a crappy cream is used. And it looks way better than the Burma boar dog (which performs the same or even better, imo)

Cheers
Ivo
