After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
Savile Row badger
1934 type Aristocrat/Super Iridium
Xpec SC
Myrsol Emulsion
Jacomo de Jacomo EdT (think oakmoss and patchouli)
My favorite open comb called to me this morning. Gotta be one of the mildest OC types, and certainly one of the nicest looking US made razors. Very smart using this today.
BBS results,

Received this in the mail last week. Honed and Stropped minimal work needed. (Always a surprise when these 10$ razors work out!).
Any one know the maker??? The only mark is a logo that looks like a square inkwell and a quill pen.[attachment=10113][attachment=10114]????

Dove face wash
L Occitane Cade shaving cream
Edwin Jagger Chatsworth ebony synthetic bristle shaving brush
Personna red label blade
Merkur 25c open comb razor
L Occitane Cade aftershave balm.
Normally the 25c is my second razor, which I use only occasionally. But I'm going to be using it more regularly. A nice smooth and close shave.

Nice, quick shave this morning. Second attempt with the Gillette Shaving Cream and had a much better experience than first time round - it definitely appreciates a touch of water. A few drips extra an it exploded (not literally, or else I wouldn't be typing this).

Cold rinse, alum and WH
TOBS Bay Rum
T&H Sandalwood balm

I love this razor now. I got it when I first started DE shaving and having had a crap shave, it was laid to rest in a drawer. A couple of years on I decided to have a shave with it and with improved technique and better blade choice it was shaving heaven. Effortless BBS regardless of how much or little growth I have.
Remarkably these scents layer really well too.

My birthday shave! I pulled out all the good stuff today. My O-2 birth-qtr razor and my "birthday" brush with a vintage blade. I really love this razor/blade combo. Effortless 3-pass BBS. The P.160 soap is really nice. I could get used to this.
