Nice Blade

Pretty much my typical shave these daves with the only rotation being a different soap or a blade to clean out my stock of things I won't replace:

Merkur 38C with Merkur blade
Simpsons Chubby 1 in Super
Harris Arlington soap
Aqua Velva
Trumpers Coral Skin Food

I'll go back to creams and something other than the Chubby someday - Just having too much fun and too many good shaves with Chubby & face lathering. The Chubby has broken in quite nicely but remains scritchy-scrubby compared to B&B 06 and that's cool with me.

Note I suggest people get in the habbit of indicating the year when referencing their B&B brush given that B&B 07 is on the way!!!!!

Tuesday

Merkur 38C
Fresh Derby Blade
Simpson Duke 3 Best Badger
Truefitt & Hill 1805 Shaving Cream
Proraso Liquid Cream After Shave Balm

The DUKE did very well with this Luxury cream despite it's reputation as a top notch "soap brush". It (The Duke) is growing on me. I only wish the handle was just a tad longer and bulkier. I guess I'm used to the sumptuous handle of the Tulip 4 and the Duke 3 feels just a bit small in my hand. I suppose the Simpson Emperor in Best would be an alternative.... but then I might just find it's handle a tad too long....

Tuesday

Merkur 38C / Derby
Rooney Heritage Stubby 2

The Stubby built up a lather with the DR Harris soap faster than any other brush I have. The lather was excellent (of course) since it was a DR Harris soap
