Soap: Erasmic bowl
Razor: Slim Adjustable (#4)
Blade: Sputnik (1)
Post: Witch hazel, Steve's Barbershop Bay Rum.

Quite a nice shave. I was a bit heavy handed on my chin and felt a little uncomfortable at the time, but a good result in the end. I got the soap a bit wrong and had to whirl a couple more times for the second pass but other than that all was good. I hate the bowl the soaps in though. The lid doesn't stay on, and twice it's fallen out of my hand when I was taking it back to the drawer. The second time I took a lump out of the rim. I will have to remember!
 
Prep: Hot shower, followed by Neutrogena Razor Defense Face Scrub
Pre: Village Barber oil

Post: Thayer's Lemon witch hazel

Another wonderful shave. 2.5 pass BBS. Only irritation was shaving the top off a spot (turned out to be an ingrown hair).
