Went all Speick-y today. Very nice shave a not smelling too bad for it either :)
 
Soap: Jabonman Sierra
Razor: Weber
Blade: English Wilkie
Brush: Simpsons E3 Manchurian

Three passes = BBS.

Finished off with Krampert's Bay Rum.

The Jabonman Sierra is really very nice. If you've never tried it it's well worth it. Smelling from the pot I found the Sierra a bit greeny (vetiver?) but with a bit of water is developed a sweeter smell which I enjoyed immensely. Very good shave today :)

Merkur 43C
Polsilver(3)
Tsr brush
Ingram's (finished it!)
Freshwood a/s and balm

Am using up software and it feels good! Lovely shave. The weight of the 43c took a bit of getting used to. It's a decent razor though overpriced at 40 quid. The boots stuff should be gone by the end of the month so i can focus on one of the other dozen a/s i have.

Nice traveller set, there mate :D

Every Chap out in the field should have one.
 
Today I am on go,

Shower and face cleansing with longest name soap in the world:

(Potter & Moore English Classics Orange Flower & Amber Fine Soap)

Soap:Arko stick
Brush:Omega 49
Razor: Bic 1 SE (Plastic Fantastic) WTG/ATG
AS: Aquatonic

Not bad for a razor that cost £0.60 for ten, almost DFS all in all, the £1 AS does the job and smell last more than I expected.
