Last night's shave (26/04):
Prep: Cold Water Prep
Razor: Red Tip Superspeed
Blade: NOS Scottish PermaSharp
Brush: Chinese 24mm Pure
Pre: Village Barber Oil
Soap: Balea Cream
A/S: Village Barber Balm
Result: This was my first try using the Balea cream that I got in a trade from Germany. It was a very plain, clean, soapy scent and lathered well after adding more water than I normally do to creams. I can't give the performance a fair rating since I used the VB Oil, but the lather seemed nice and slick.
The Oil, as always, performed well and the VB Balm (which I used for the first time as well - from the pass around) was really nice. It has a great "manly" scent that I struggle to describe and felt great on my raw skin.
