Godrej shaving soap
Stirling shaving soap
Fatboy (nickel plated) with Supermax Blue Diamond x2
Turkish no. 6
Boots Freshwood balm

The Godrej was a free sample from fly3k (thanks Steve). It smells of Radox bath salts (a good thing) and lathered well but offered very little protection. Finished off with a much more forgiving soap and a new blade just in case. Decent finish but a bit sore
 
Just a quick clean up shave

Face wash with Ted Baker Pre Shave
3P Cream
SOC 2 Band
Edwin Jagger Sandalwood Soap
Gillette Slim on 5
Lab Blue (2)
Witch Hazel
Gucci by Gucci ASB

Job Done, the EJ soap didnt seem as bad as most of the reviews burst into lather but needed quite a lot of water to get a nice lather. Not the greatest soap but not the worst either.

A good hot face wash
Provaso green

A feather blade

My first shave with the SS, the Provaso and the feather.

Found the SS very mild compared to my vintage fat handle (my current favourite) but an enjoyable shave just the same.

Brush: NF Tubby 2
Soap: Tabac
Razor: Schick L Type
Blade: Personna (2)
Post: Witch hazel, Blue Stratos

Very nice. The Tabac is the best soap I've used, it gives a fantastic lather and leaves my skin feeling great after the shave. A much better shave second time around with this razor and blade.
 
Bulldog for men face wash.
La Toja sensitive shaving cream.
Muhle silvertip fibre synthetic shaving brush.
Muhle R89 razor with Personna red #1.

Nice shave , have had the La Toja cream for a while, forgot how good it is.

Prep: Village Barber Oil
Soap: Stirling Barber Shop

Post: Stirling Lemon Ice splash

Nice warm scents from the barbershop, followed by a bloody cold splash. Not the closest or smoothest shave should've chucked the blade really.

Impressed with this splashes aftercare and the menthol is still present 30 mins later.
