It's been a wee while since i posted in the SOTD (haven't stopped shaving though :icon_razz
Shower
Gillette Slim Adjustable
Super Iridium (2)
New Forest brush
Cella soap.
Bought the Cella as part of a group buy here a while back and wasn't that impressed. Smelled nice, couldn't get the lather right somehow.
Left the Cella for a few months while I used up a tub of T&H No. 10.
Now the marzipan scent has vanished, but I can generate a decent lather from the soap!
Nice, easy two pass shave, good enough for a schoolnight.
Floris Elite AS
C&S No. 88 cologne (that damn hippy stinky stuff she calls it:icon_rolleyes
Nice.

Feather AC SS non-folding
Feather AC ProGuard (2)
Semogue SOC Boar
Vitos Extra Super Coconut
Proraso Aftershave lotion
Serge Lutens Daim Blonde
I don't think I'm any slower with the Feather than a DE, now, which is a good feeling. I'm not yet getting 'BBS' everywhere but, on these ProGuard blades, I'm experiencing no irritation nor even weepers. It's a nice feeling!
Tomorrow's shave should use up the last of the Vitos.

Lush Aqua Marina
Trumper's Limes Skin Food - this stuff does make all the difference when used as a pre-shave!
Soap - wish I knew! I was on the receiving end a while ago when a fellow member was kindly offering samples of a soap (iColonali?). I put it in my cabinet, then promptly forgot about it, until this morning. Marvellous stuff! If you are that kind donor, and can remind me of what this soap is, I'd be very grateful!
Kent BK8
Merkur HD Gold
Rainbow - what a joy the colourful wrapping on this blade is! Always reminds me of something you'd get four of for a penny (1d) when I was a boy!
Floid Suave
Thayers Rose Petal
Kiehl's for Men
Lush Vanishing Cream
Trumper's Eucris
Good Morning Gentlemen.

Wednesday Night
No shave, but I couldn't wait to try out 'The Veg', so ...
Shower
Cold Water Face Splash
Pinaud Lilac Vegetal
Recipe for Men Moisturiser
What a burn! I don't know about the cooling effect, but it certainly has a numbing effect.
What a scent! Love it!
Still with me this morning and needing a pick me up, I went with Trumper's Eucris today.
What a combination! What a perfect scent for rising from the dead
