SOTD July 27 through August 02, 2009

[HBK42581]

Monday Morning:

Hot Shower/Hot Towel
1953 Gillette 40's Style SS
Swedish Gillette (Shave #1)
C&E BBB
La Toja Classic SC
Pinaud Clubman A/S
TSD AS Milk

Bottom line, one of the finest shaves I have ever had. The La Toja is such a nice cream. I can't even explain it. It saddens me quite a bit that I'm having trouble finding a new blade that works as well for me as the Swedish G's do. Still trying to find something that I can turn to once my stock runs out. I'd have to say that I get my best lathers when I use my Tweezerman and my C&E brushes. Always very slick and cushioning and always plenty of lather for 3 or more passes. The Pinaud is quickly becoming my favorite a/s. Such a classic scent and evaporates within seconds of hitting my face. A friggin' fantastic start to the day and week. I love it!
