Midnight shave, not totally satisfactory.

Hot shower, 4711 soap, Earthly Delight herbal shampoo
Geo. F. Trumper Coral Skin Food, pre- and post-shave
Fatboy, set at 6
Gillette Yellow 7 O'Clock, 2nd shave
WR silvertip
Utilemud bowl
Queen Charlotte Soap Rose Otto cream
Cold rinse
Alum block
Cold rinse
D. R. Harris Pink aftershave
Queen Charlotte Soap Rose Otto AS balm

I've been spoiled by a run of really good, easy BBS shaves. Not tonight; DFS after my max 2-passes-and-touch-up. The QCS Rose Otto Cream isn't becoming a favorite. It is hard to load and hard to get a good lather from. I use a Full Marco and even added a little more water, as I think it's thirsty, but the final lather didn't quite do the trick. Not slick or soothing. Hmmm. Any suggestions?

I certainly won't give up. The authentic attar-of-rose scent is intoxicating, and I think I just have to up my game.

A few more beautiful photos,gentlemen! I wish to all a good day!

Ah Autumn, when a young man's fancy turns to sweeter, heavier scents. Or so I hear from the young people.

Pre: Fanciful Fox Dapper Pre Shave oil.
Soap: HTGAM/King R. Shave stick
Brush: Frank's Pur Tech
Razor/Blade: Bump fighter handle, Gillette Trac II Cart
Method: WTG/ATG
Post: Alum Block
A/S: Clubman Vanilla with added Glycerine and Witch hazel (I think thayers original, although it may have been the alcohol free--I need a lab notebook)
Cologne: Clubman concentrate

The sweet smelling combination of the unusual soap stick (a little like black cherry cough syrup in a good way) and the clubman double dose has me feeling pretty good.[/QUOTE


Wow just WOW!! Stupendous Photos Today. I am starting to get afraid to post mine. Stunning!
