Don't like the southsea scent it's like laundry detergent. Glad it's only a sample.

Pre: Soap and water wash, Proraso pre.
Soap: Prof Blighty's Sandalwood
Brush: Vie-Long
Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable (set to 3)
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock Yellow.
Post: Alum, Nivea balm.
First time with the adjustable, incredibly close shave but some irritation which is down to the new learning curve and poor technique and also one nick under my nose which I think was caused by the end of the blade. I maybe was applying too much pressure. Also I don't usually shave every day as my beard grows so slow, so this being the second straight day of shaving probably didn't help.
Having a break tomorrow to let things settle then will try again Saturday morning. I am happy with the result but could do better.

Pre: cold water splash
Soap: Proraso Sensitive
Brush: Semogue 620

Blade : Polsilver SI
4th shave with this blade, first one pulled second a bit better, but third and forth have been really smooth but closeness dropping off.
Time for a change I feel.
