Everything superb all around! The Lavanille is becoming one of my favorites! It's kind of a smokey lavender/vanilla.

Pre: Proraso green pre-shave cream
Cream: Xpec
Brush: Orchid Isles 24mm Silvertip on Curly Koa handle
Razor: EJ DE89 with Ikon handle
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock black (2)
Post: Thayer's witch hazel, followed by vintage California Bay Rum
First time with the Xpec. Really nice lather, but not inspired by the "unscented". Thought I'd treat myself today with a 1981 vintage bay rum. Very refined bay rum, not 'in-your-face' like most. Wonderful 3-pass BBS.

Another midnight shave, 24 hrs after last shave; lots of product to try out.
Hot shower; Earthly Delight shampoo, incl. beard
Geo. F. Trumper Coral Skin Food, pre-shave
WD 22 x 50 silvertip brush, 45-year-old Floris handle
Utilemud bowl
Queen Charlotte Rose Otto soap
Fatboy, set at 5
Feather, 3rd shave
Cold rinse
D. R. Harris Pink aftershave
Queen Charlotte Rose Otto Balm
Roger & Gallet J.-M. Farina Eau de Cologne
Great shave, first with the QCS Rose Otto soap. I didn't get anywhere near the lather I do with their Rose Otto cream, but that's my technique. Excellent aroma. DFS shave, 2 passes and touch-up.

Prep: Hot Shower-Stirling Cocoa Butter Bath Soap
Soap: Maggard Limes & Bergamot
Razor: Gillette Slim [6]
Blade: Rapira Swedish Supersteel (4)
Brush: Plisson Lucite #12 Grey Badger-22mmx56mm
Aftershave: Fine Italian Citrus
WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)
A “Top 5” morning with Maggard Limes & Bergamot. Excellent thick, cushioning lather with a great scent in no time with the Plisson. The Rapira Swede in the Slim is doing just fine. I got an excellent smooth, close, and nick free shave. I finished with Fine Italian Citrus.
