The New Stuff: I placed an order for some EU-made products from Connaught Shaving right before the Christmas holiday. Unfortunately, Connaught was closed during the time I placed my order, so it wasn't shipped until they re-opened after the New Year. I'll include some more info about the products I picked up in the next Monday Mail Call post on /r/wet_shavers, but briefly, I picked up the EJ XL brush, MWF, a jar of Tabac, and a refill puck of I Coloniali mango oil soap.
The handle is fantastic. The EJ brushes come in two handle shapes (EJ28 and EJ87). I picked the EJ28 style. The handle is beefy and pretty heavy for a resin handle. Definitely feels much heavier than the light wood handle of the L'Occitane brush. The EJ28 brush handle fits the hand beautifully. It really works well for those with bigger hands. The fibers feel great. They are almost as soft as the L'O brush. The EJ definitely has a lot more backbone; a lot of people complain about the lack of backbone in the L'O brush, but it's never been an issue for me.
The Shave: I've been using the BBS-1 for about a month now. It's a great razor and has filled the role of "close-shaver" for me. Whenever I want a close shave, I'll reach it. Still doing a little blade exploration, so I'm using a Kai stainless blade. Kai's are super expensive (about $0.60 a blade) and I've never been really impressed with them. They provide a decent shave, but certainly not worth double the price compared to other premium blades. I love the clean look of Kai blades though, there's something super elegant about them. I also like that they don't use any wax when wrapping the blade. I've noticed a lot of really large wax spots on other blades that extend all the way to the blade edge!
I've had the scuttle for almost two years now. I use it year round, but it really is wonderful in the winter time. I start the lather building process in the scuttle and then finish on the face. It's a little small, but since I don't have a lot of counter space in my bathroom, that was on purpose.
Some people have reported that MWF is hard to lather--but I didn't experience anything of the sort. The EJ brush loaded quickly and produced a thick lather within seconds. I did leave a little bit of water on top of the soap puck while I showered, as recommended by some people. The lather was great: slick, comfortable, stable. Some people report that WMF lather is thin--again, not in my experience today. The lather thickness was better than average when compared to other highly regarded soaps. The post-shave face feel is excellent. A lot of people use MWF specifically for the face-feel and the protection that it provides.
The EJ XL synth also performed very well. Lathered extremely quickly. If anything, it produced too much lather (was overflowing by the end). Very comfortable on the face although has significantly more backbone than the Plisson, so it takes some getting used to and requires more pressure to splay the fibers.
The combination of the IB Glycerin soap and the T&H Pre-Shave oil is just awesome. The IB Glycerin breaks down REALLY fast. I've used it maybe three times and I've taken a good half centimeter off it. I'm running out of my samples of both, either going to have to bite the bullet and buy some or get budget and try some new things.
First time with Arko. Traded for it, came pre-smushed so just formed it into one of my handy and lonely tins. Scent descriptions have ranged from floor cleaner to "barbershop fresh" but the most flowery one I've heard is "lemon urinal cake."
It's accurate.
The thing is, it's not a horrible scent, and could bring back some great memories like the time with that one chick from Spring Break Lauderdale '92.
Once you get past the scent it's a great product. Took a while for me to face lather. I started fairly dry, and the oil probably didn't help, but this soap seems to love water. Took about 5 tip dips to get it to the right consistency.
Very smooth shave. Got some IP Reds in a trade (like almost everything I use). These were my first blades when I started, so I didn't know what to expect. You look back on your first products either with fondness or fear and wonder what your new techniques will get out of them.
First pass was so good...it was one of those that you consider maybe stopping so you don't ruin it. Went for a cleanup XTG, then minor buffing, turned out great.
So the next time you can get some Arko in a trade, throw it in with an order, or you see that ridiculous $12 deal for 15 sticks, grab it.
Where to find the products I'm using for (what I think) is the best deal. Just because.
Finished restoring this Northfield, put it through a shave test before heading out tonight.
I love blades with old folk art handles. When they enter my shop, I push for preserving the character as much as possible.
I started by removing the active rust, leaving a bit of pitting and staining behind. Took it to a high polish, and then forced a patina on the blade giving it an aged gunmetal look.
The edge was in rough shape, so I had to hone at 1K for a long while, giving the edge a "rough" look - which fits the style of the blade nicely.
In the end, it looks no newer than when I started, and I'm very happy about that.
Some pics of the process here.
A great shave, 2 pass BBS. A testimony to old steel.

I think the Red Pack Personnas are similar to the Astra SP, but more expensive, the Personna Lab Blues are good as well, Feathers shread my face, but Polsilve Super Iridiums are sharp and much smoother, Rapiras are sharp, smooth and $6.45 for 100.
It's my favorite right now. I smell like a fancy Frenchman when I'm done and it really soothes.
Amazon has some good reviews on it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YZ5G46?ie=UTF8&force-full-site=1&ref_=aw_bottom_links

Cream: Taylor of Old Bond Street: Eton College
Aftershave: Old Spice Classic
First ever straight razor shave! Damn was I nervous... played some classical music to ease my mind. It turned out really well I think, only a couple nicks that weren't bad at all and very little irritation that subsided in an hour.
Incredibly close shave like nothing I've had before. The cream dried halfway through so I had to reapply it, I'm not sure if I was doing something wrong or just took too long.
Will definitely be making this routine maybe a couple times a week due to how long it takes. I'll stick with my electric shaver most mornings because I really wouldn't want to do this while rushing to class :)
I've just checked my tube and it doesn't seem to say lavender on it..... but it definitely has a good lavender-like scent.
It's this one I have.
I got them in this sampler pack from amazon. I didn't even realize it but i was supposed to receive lord blades, pointed out by a customer review. The Treets are my favorite so far and I found them here when searching for bulk.
The greatest lavender soliflore of all time.
Thanks! I was just looking on Amazon and it seems they have a whole line of aftershaves, equally scary looking. I wonder what Checker Flag smells like?
I see this in stock at amazon. You think it's worth the $25 to try it out?
If you like lime try the Ogalalla Lime and Peppercorns. http://www.amazon.com/Ogallala-Bay-Rum-Peppercorns-Old-time/dp/B003ZGH4VO
I believe it's Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum aftershave. Here's what commenters at basenotes have to say.
