Merkur Platinum #2
Alum
Terrific citrus scented soap to my nose mainly grapefruit, a close shave marred by a small rash of weepers on my neck area that is always tricky soon sorted with the use of the alum.
P&B Imperial Rum
Simfix Barrule 2 band super
Rex Ambassador (2)
Feather Hi-stainless
Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum
A very pleasant, close and comfortable shave this morning with a fresh Feather blade. The Rex is a really excellent if expensive razor. Perhaps an overdose of bay rum, perhaps not.

Wiliams Mug Soap
Alu.General + S/S Handle
Schick Proline [ 8 ]
Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion
Glad that I went with the Williams today as it really delivered a most excellent lather. It really seemed to make the Shave go well,and i reckon it was probably one of the best Shaves that I have had with this combo. I did not use this Razor for some time until I paired it up with this handle , and have on a number of occasions considered passing it on. After today I will put that idea on hold for a while.

A two and half pass shave. I swear these blades aren't as good as I remember them. A comfortable SAS shave. Rushed as I was hoping to catch the postman before someone else in the house did.

Nice soap with good bayrum scent and reasonably slick too.
Shave with razor paired with blade feels so smooth and comfortable for 3+1passes. Absolutely no tugging at all. Cuts very well atg. However the result was only between bbs to dfs and only noticed some creepers/irritation much later. Over shaved...hahahaha

I was entigued by the Stirling shaving soap Varen, so thought I'd give it a shot. Varen is Dutch for fern, and the soap was developed by Stirling for a Dutch wetshaving Forum. Wow - it certainly has presence! It is a deep, dark fougère scent, with lashings of oakmoss, but just enough green notes to prevent it being gloomy. I really like it. The performance from the soap was excellent, as I've come to expect from Stirling.
I paired the aftershave and EdT to match the soap scent, and they blended together in splendid fashion.
