Pre: Village Barber oil
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
Brush: M&F L7 Butterscotch
Razor: EJ DE89 with Templ8 custom handle
Blade: NOS Wilkinson Sword UK (1)
Post: Thayer's Lemon witch hazel
AS: Captain's Choice Lime

First time using a Wilkie blade. Holy $#!+ they're amazing! Sharp, smooth and very comfortable. DFS in 1 pass, BBS in 2.2 passes, no weepers or irritation.
 
Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Proraso pre-shave - sensitive
Soap: Whickham Soap Company Club Cola Super Smooth (sample)
Bowl: Woodhead Pedestal
Brush: Omega boar 10005
Razor: Gillette Fatboy @7 (pass-around)
Blade: Sputnik (2)
After: Tabac AS, Tabac ASB

Today's was a lovely shave experience. Last try with the sample of Fox's Club Cola soap; it's a nice balance of slickness and protection which worked just right today.
Second time using the Fatboy, cracking it up from yesterday's setting 6 to 7 gave better results. Might try 8 tomorrow. Think I prefer my Slim though as the weight's more to the head.
Finishing off with oouw-yeeah Tabac, magic.

Have a great weekend folks.
