Nice! It's from Scotto the Sample King, and it's my first Vulfix or sandalwood scented cream (I'm still about a month into the wetshaving biz, as evidenced by the boar brush and eBay razor :)). It smelled very strong when I shaved with it, but apparently it wore off quickly -- my girlfriend said that it smelled good (not too strong) an hour later.
 
Omega brush
Dovo straight razor
Proraso soap
Lubriderm unscented moisturizer

ahhh, nice and cool and refreshing with Proraso! :smile:

Wednesday:

All Nancy Boy in the shower - the travel pack came yesterday along with some face wash.

Merkur HD with Derby day 3 or 4 (can't remember)
Simpson Chubby #2 Super
C&E Sweet Almond Oil
Feather Kanwa ASB
Penhaligon's Castille EdT

Comments....
The Nancy Boy shampoo and conditioner are good stuff. Jury still out on the face wash - a few days will tell.

This was my first shave with the Simpson. What a difference, whoa. There are about two times the bristles in the Chubby compared to the Vulfix 2234 - it is so much denser it is unbelievable. Prebloom it was very straight and full but it bloomed like crazy after the first shave; it is only going to get bigger if that was any indication. It is shorter than the Vulfix by a few millimeters but already much wider. Much stiffer yet softer, holds it shape well and holds boat loads more water than I am used to so I had some trouble with my lather today. The Castille is good stuff but similar to other neroli-based colognes like JF I think. -- Dennis
