Lovely close shave today. I seem to have an ingrown pop up under my chin from yesterdays shave :dodgy:
 
Prep: Hot shower, followed by Neutrogena Razor Defense Face Scrub
Pre: Village Barber oil
Soap: Figaro P160 (thanks Al H!)
Brush: California Redwood Burl handle, 24mm TGN Finest 2-band
Razor: E&J DE89 w/iKon bulldog handle
Blade: Ladas (5)
Post: Thayer's Original witch hazel
ASB: D.R.Harris Arlington AS "milk" (thanks Al H!)

P160 was a performance king again this morning! Amazing how much lather can come out of a pea sized chunk squished into the lather bowl. Still some left for tomorrow. Lovely slick lather and a 2.5 pass BBS with zero irritation. Ladas stainless blade is holding up well. Should get another day or more out of this blade.
 
Gillette Aristocrat #16
Polsilver Super Iridium (1)
Muhle Silvertip Fibre, v1
Vitos Extra Super Coconut

I usually use this small v1 Muhle for sticks while travelling but it whipped up an excellent lather today. A 23mm v2 is now on the Christmas list.
