Wednesday.

Hot Shower
Merkur 41 OC
Wilkinson sword blade
Trumper coconut shaving cream
Trumpers sandlewood skin food
Trumpers Wild Fern Cologne
Omega 10005 brush Body shop macca root moisturiser.

I ordered a sample pack from Geo. f trumpers which arrived today :)
I also tried out a wilkinson sword blade for the first time today and ive gotta say I was impressed.
This skin food is great stuff, I can now see why it is quite expensive. well, I can see how all of Trumpers shaving stuff is pricey as it seems to be of a very high standard, I will be getting some of this into my rotation.
The coconut cream was lovely, a real thick smooth lather with zero air bubbles in it, I would say the best cream I have tried to date.
I emptied the full sample vile of Wild Fern Cologne into my hands and rubbed all over my face and neck, lovely :D A bit of sting but nothing more than my Proraso A/S, im not sure I done the right thing using the Cologne the same as A/S but no irritation yet, I thought it might be too strong to apply straight to freshly shaved skin :?:
All in all a Fantastic shaving experience today, Trumpers has come up trumps.
