5/8 W.R. Humphreys & Company
Mama Bear's Aged Spice soap
Kent BK4
Gillette Series AS Balm
Old Spice (Indian formula)

Finally managed to hone this near-wedge that I'd been restoring after 4 or 5 failed attempts, and what a great edge it took in the end. Fantastic shave!
 
A belated post for a Thursday night/Friday morning 1:30am shave after a night out with colleagues.

Hot shower
La Toja stick, face lathered with
New Forest T2
Edwin Jagger DE89, with
Gillette 7OC Yellow (4)
Nivea ASB

Three passes, no touchup, felt like a BBS- result at the time; bloodfree and a near-perfect shave. Neck seemed to feel stubblier faster than usual the next day, though, so I may have been optimistic about the quality the previous night.

No shave since, looking forward to tonight's.
