Kyle, how do you like the T&H Ultimate Comfort Shave Cream and the Ultimate Comfort ASB?

The cream does an excellent job. The smell is nothing special, but not unpleasant. I really like the ASB. I will definitely be buying some (both products were samples from a friend).

For my SOTD Saturday, I went to the Truefitt & Hill in Caesar's (details to follow if I can ever download the damn pics from my crappy phone). They use their Ultimate Comfort Shave Cream in their lather kings. The smell is 'nothing special' because it is unscented, but as you mention, it's certainly not off-putting (I enjoyed it).

Proraso Pre
Taylor's Avocado (Thanks Andrew for the sample!)
SMFII
Gillette HD + Israeli Personna
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Proraso Pre

Been using my Futur so many days in a row, I've gotten used to it. Great shave, until I got to my neck where I went overboard trying to get it glass smooth, which the Futur does with far fewer passes.

Now I got some nice, dark, red abrasion on the throat. Treated with a layer of witch hazel, Proraso Pre, Bactroban ointment, and I'm going to go break off a piece of aloe plant to squeeze out and put on my cat's hot spots. Might as well dab the leftover on my burn 8)
I think today's shave was the scene of a coup. The mighty Merkur Futur has supplanted the Gillette adjustable as lord of John's shaving domain.

Day one of the pre-shower shave:
Merkur HD with new Derby Extra
EJ for C&E Super
C&E Sienna SC
Thayer's Superhazel

Results: Not too bad...I think I'll continue to use this method the rest of the week to get a good comparison with post-shower shaving. Today, the neck didn't get quite as close as usual but I'll blame that on technique from switching back to the HD from the superspeed.
