My first shave with a Futur, pretty good results...next time I'll open it up a bit. I went safe this time and had it set too mild, still not a bad shave, just a couple of spots that could be closer. (Thanks Books!)

Monday Morning:

Hot Shower/Hot Towel
1953 Gillette 40's Style SS
Swedish Gillette (Shave #3)
Rooney Style 3 Super
Nivea SC (German)
Pinaud Clubman A/S
TSD AS Milk
Preferred Stock

Fantastic shave today after taking the weekend off from shaving. The German Nivea shave cream is quickly becoming one of my favorite go-to creams. The lather I can produce with this stuff is unbelievably cushioning and slick. The Rooney is a great brush with nice soft bristles. I can't believe how fast I've turned around on the Clubman a/s. I used to smell the stuff in the stores and just hated it. Now, I want to use it every day.
