Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Proraso preshave - sensitive
Soap: Prof Blighty's Grapewood
Brush: Semogue 830
Bowl: Woodhead Pedestal
Razor: Weber + Bulldog
Blade: Sputnik (1)
After: Aqua Velva Sport AS, Zirh ASB

I'm having a few weeks only using the Weber with different blades to see which one suits me best. So far the Astra SP is middle-of-the-road, 7 o'clock yellow gives a bit of irritation but not super close. Today's Sputnik is the best so far; very close and no irritation.

This Semogue brush has very soft tips but seems to be splaying a lot when I face lather. I'm not sure I like that.

Prof Blighty conditions nicely and the result was a relaxing BBS.

Have a great day chaps.

Monday evening

Merkur Progress on 3 then 3.5
Personna Lab Blues
Omega Pro 48
Proraso Green tub
Proraso AS

Great shave, the omega and Proraso are made for each other, loads of great lather and a great shave with the Progress/Lab blue.

I could quite happily use this setup everyday if only there wasn't so many other great products out there :icon_razz:

On a panic though as I got through to the bottom of the tub but will have to wait until the new year to replace it.
