Eucris Cream (Geo. F. Trumper) oakmoss cologne
Shave 3 ・ 66 g left

Trumper’s hard shaving soap is worthless for its stated purpose. I couldn’t work up a decent shaving lather no matter how hard I tried. But these pucks do work very well as hand soaps. A disk of Trumper’s rock hard soap lasts me about two months and smells great right down to the last crumb.

Now their shaving creams, on the other hand, are really quite good for shaving. And the scents of course are generally splendid. Of them all, Eucris in all its dark glory is my favorite. I smell black currants, metal filings, and oak moss – a fragrance that will keep me entertained all day long.

ETHOS ShaveMD hit the spot big-time for me today.  ShaveMD is, among other things, one of the tip-top most refreshing offerings among the contenders in my somewhat cluttered den.

Today's shave was also a delightful maiden voyage with a new to me Enders Speed Shaver.  For now, I'll skip the long story that preceded the happy ending, but suffice it to say first, that this is a beautiful marbled butterscotch example, which is not at all apparent in todays photo, and second, that along with the soap and brush, it delivered a smooth and totally bloodless BBS shave.  I was not expecting that, especially after having had to jump through a few hoops to get this particular Enders up and running.
