My adventure in shaving creams continues. I dug through some of my stuff and found 6 creams and a velvet pouch of St. James shaving cream samples. Not bad for a shaving soap guy, eh?

Georgetown Pottery G20 scuttle
Rooney 3/1 Ebony Finest (22mm/48mm)
D.R. Harris Almond shaving soap + C&E Sweet Almond Oil shaving cream (vintage)
Feather AS-D2/Brad Sears 'Damascus Steel'
Wilkinson Light Brigade (3)
RazoRock R-160 Sweet Almond aftershave balm

See the "What razor did you use today" thread for a description of the M3 material used in the 'Damascus Steel' razor handle.

A little rough.
This shave seemed to go very well until I applied the aftershave. I got some burn and three weepers appeared on my lower neck that were not there before the AS. Now I have quite a bit of tenderness there. I think I may have used too much pressure with the Futur, since the lather seemed to be all good. I'm still mystified by the late appearing weepers though. Am I the only one who gets them?

Excellent shave this morning with the Slim Adjustable. Setting 5 for first 2 XTG passes then 3 for the final ATG pass and I'm BBS. This was the first shave with the new JR-F boar brush. Loved it, small but whipped up a great face lather. Have a great day folks
