Thank you for sharing Peter!

Today I have been mainly using Monsavon shaving soap. That plus my usual Flairtip Superspeed, a Feather blade (which I actually like now :oops:) and my Semogue 1305 brush. Please take a look at my review of the Monsavon.
 
Saturday (is Tabac day)

Omega boar
Aristocrat Jr.
Asda Personna

Tabac
Proraso pre/post afterwards
squirt of some Chanel pulling potion from a sampler

Haven't needed the stick yet ...

(edit) forgot to say that that's me out for a fortnight's holiday in Scotland. My washbag contains Palmolive, a Tech, some Feathers and jungle strength insect repellent.
 
Sunday:
Feather Artist Club RG (folding) / Pro Guard Blade
Simpson Duke 2 Pure Badger Brush
Truefitt & Hill Luxury Shaving Soap
D R Harris Pink Aftershave
D R Harris Aftershave Milk
D R Harris Traditional Cologne (close shave sample)
 
Sunday
Simpsons Duke 3
Merkur 38C/red personna
Art of Shaving Unscented cream
Alum
Florins Elite

Tried something different today. Cream in palm, just worked it into brush tips then face lathered. A bit mean on the cream so each pass did not get as much lather as usual. Quite thin on the third pass. But shave ended up just as good as usual.Just as smooth as Gordon is sounding in his interview right now with Andrew Marr. Tongue in cheek.
 
I was on holiday in Wales last week, hence my silence, so I have to retro-post.

All last week, it was combinations of the following.

Gillette Tech or Slim Twist
Gillette Swede
Vulfix 'Piccadilly' Boar Brush
The Body Shop Maca Root Shaving Cream or Trumper's Coconut Cream
Castle Forbes Limes ASB


This morning, 48 hours of beard was efficiently removed with

Futur
Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge
Simpson's Best Badger Special
Proraso Aloe and Green Tea Soap
D.R. Harris After Shave Milk, the unscented one that smells like roses.

Is it good to be back? No.
