Merkur 34C
Personna Super "Medical Prep"
Semogue 1305
Geo. F. Trumper Rose Cream
Vifrex Dopobarba
Geo. F. Trumper Skye EDT (from a sample)

So after sifting through some of my stash for sale/PIF I found an old tub of Trumpers Rose cream sitting in the back of a drawer with enough in it for a few weeks worth of shaves.

I haven't posted in SOTD for long enough because I've more or less been shaving with the same kit for a few years now.

I'd written off the Trumpers cream as the last time I used it I had a "bad reaction".

Well it would turn out that years of using the same kit and improving my technique meant that using this cream today turned out to be perfection.

The lather, the scent, the shave were all great.

Now have GAS for some Trumpers creams.
