Squadron Red Lead
RazoRock 400
Rockwell 6C R4
Vintage Schick blade (7) ((and counting))
Lynx Dark Temptation Aftershave

The Schick blade is still going strong and not showing signs of dulling at all, perhaps a little smoother than the previous use.
Red Lead is a pleasure to use. I don't think it could be improved on. ( @TomG )

G'day @Paul L - happy that you are enjoying the gear, Mate :). And I also find that the vintage blades often seem to get a little smoother with use - they just keep on keeping on.

21 November

PreShave: Warm water
Cream: D R Harris Arlington
Brush: Kent BK8
Bowl: My recycled cream bowl
Razor: The Sledgehammer (Merkur 39C)
Blade Feather (5)
Post Shave: Alum

Fragrance: None—a work day

The Arlington cream has been my travel cream which I use with my travel gear (eShave travel brush—face lather, Merkur 34C, and alum afterwards). It works well with that setup, but I've never tried it with my home tools. It worked well, and will be added to the home rotation.

Although 4 is the usual number of shaves I use a blade for, I'll try to push the Feather for a few more. It seemed sharp and smooth today as it was yesterday. I'll use it again tomorrow, and perhaps Friday—to go for 7.
 
Pre: Warm water splash
Brush: Omega 20102 Boar
Soap: Noble Otter Barrbarr
Razor: Karve CB with D plate
Blade: Gillette Nacet
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Myrsol Blue ASL

The Christopher Bradley is possibly the best value for money razor out there and I include the wonderful Fatip Picollo in that statement.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Brush - Omega 80265
Soap - Cella
Razor - Yaqi DOC
Blade - Gillette Wilkinson Sword (12)
Post - Witch Hazel
Balm - Nivea Cooling
Splash - Ben's Bay Rum Mentholated

I'm approaching the end of the 50g sample of Cella I bought from ShaveDash a while back. To begin with I preferred the varieties of Vitos to it but I'm coming to appreciate Cella to be equal if not better than the Vitos croaps.
