Razor: Rolls Razor Brush: Simpsons Case Soap: Olivia Seife WM Sarubia  Wring 2x. Within 33 seconds lather exploded. 1min 35. 6 pass. Post-shave very soft and smooth. I had to switch from Olivia Churchill to WM Sarubia it was taking hell of a time. Even switching from Simpsons Case to Vie-Long 12315 didn't help much. Lather was bit thicker but not enough to help with the cushioning. Whether palm lathering 30sec or 1min after wringing knot 2x the lather was airy and dissipated. I tried rubbing sample over face it didn't help either was still meringue-like. Lastly before deciding to switch, I tried brush loading again but instead of having a little bit of water, it was nearly dry still no luck. |

Doing some catchup today. So here is Wednesday's shave.
- Prep: Noxzema Skin Cream & Hot Towel
- Brush: Ever Ready C40 Boar
- Soap: SCS Pumpkin
- Razor: '48 Eversharp-Schick G1 Injector
- Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated Injector (shave 1)
- Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
- A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner & Clubman Club Complete ASB
- EDT: 4711 Cologne
- Result: Really nice and comfortable BBS shave. Did nick myself low on my neck. In a hurry I guess. The soap was a sample that Sue (R.I.P.) and Wendy sent me with my last order. Usual good lather but the scent, well the jury is out on that one.

- Prep: Noxzema Skin Cream & Hot Towel
- Brush: Knotty Roddy Chubby 2 with TGN Silvertip Badger
- Cream: Prairie Creations Barbershop
- Razor: '07 GEM Jr Lather Catcher
- Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated GEM SE (Shave 1)
- Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
- A/S: Thayer's Lavender Witch Hazel Toner & AOS Lavender ASB
- EDT: SCS Blend 2-11 EDT
- Result: Great BBS shave. Got a couple weepers on the chin. Used Krissy's shave cream today and found it wonderful as far as lather making and the way it lubed my face for the shave. Good stuff for sure. The Barbershop scent was not what I expected but it was nice anyway. Wanted something a bit more musky smelling. Will be trying some of her other creams as my current creams run out.

Fuzzy,
Could you tell me more about Krissy's Clubman soap? Is it reminiscent of Clubman/Jeris products?
I've few soaps and Japanese Cherry Blossom cream. They're simply exquisite to say the least. I just got the soaps into my rotation.
