This evening's shave:

C&E Nomad shaving cream
ShaveMac best badger brush
Black Bear brand hanging strop
Barclay Brothers 6/8 spike
Alum block
Clubman a/s lotion

3 passes, bbs. The Clubman a/s lotion was a nice surprise. I was expecting just another lotion or balm, but once applied to the face it has a nice cooling effect. The fragrance isn't bad, although it cannot compare to Bay Rum (imho), but still I will use this one again.

Today's wasn't as good, tried my Merkur 33c today, just doesn't work as well as the Fatboy. A little too aggressive, guess it'll be hitting the sale block soon.

I decided that I hadn't been getting warm enough lather, so I employed a vintage percolator coffee pot (electric) that's been laying aroundthe house so I would have plenty of hot water whenever I need it. It really worked out nicely.

Got myself a merkur slant bar razor and some Col.Conk amber soap.This is one sharp tool!This is the first time I've tried a badger brush after using a cheap one.It has a lovely green onyx handle.The cheap one lost bristles to my face each time it was used.I love the difference in price between these blades and the cartridges.
