Gillette Fusion ProGlide razor
Gillette Fusion ProGlide gel
Diptyque Tam Dao EDT
No matter what smellies I'm wearing, whenever anyone at work asks me what it is, I always say 'Hai Karate'. Spins them out a little bit.

Greetings
Tuesday 18th September 2012
Prep: Shower
Razor: GEM Junior Fat Handle
Blade GEM Stainless Coated
Brush: Omega 10810 Boar
Soap: Füme
Aftershave: Dove Sensitive Balm
A terrible start, it was apparent from the off that my blade had expired but like an idiot I continued for the entire first pass (because I keep my blades in the bedroom not the bathroom) I was forced to renew my blade and start again so had a four pass shave.
This model of Omega boar brush is (IMHO) useless, I think I have said this before but the loft is too short for the width of the knot which makes the brush ramrod stiff, the tips have all split and it is soft but it is too stiff to be usable!
A BBS shave eventually
Regards
Dick

Pre Veleiro soap + Omega lanolized shaving cream + Kent BK8 Silvertip + Weber Bulldog with Gillette Tech head and Super Flash red #2 + Proraso lotion and balm
First shave with this Kent! A superb brush for using in bowl, and is suitable for facelathering with circular motion as well! It's incredible how fast it builds a creamy lather, a really good buy for sure!
Cheers!

This morning:
Prep: Face wash, Imperial Leather bath soap, cold
Razor: Filarmonica 14 Especial, just under 7/8"
Brush: Vie-Long Horse 13070
Soap: La Toja stick
Aftershave: Prof Blighty's Red Ginger
Scent: Penhaligon's Endymion
When this razor and brush came up together in the rotation I felt I ought to pick out a Spanish soap too, leaving me with a choice of... one. Great soap, great razor, still slightly disappointing brush, but a good shave mongoloids. Or nonetheless. Swype thought I meant the former.

Wilkinson Sword shave stick
Ever Ready 1912 with modern GEM
L'Occitane Verdon moisturising gel sample (from the 'guess my dog's name' competition thread - thanks OldBladeGrinder!)
Like the moisturiser - a grassy and faintly mint smell to my untrained and cold-ridden sinuses. And on the subject, is it me or does the WS stick smell a bit like Old Spice?
