Razor: GEM Contour
Blade: GEM Blue Star Carbon
Brush: Semogue 830 Boar
Cream: T.O.B.S. Mr Taylor's

Hot flannel
NF 1901 brush, MWF
Weber polished, Personna Lab Blue (3)
Cold splash
E-shave post-shave soother

Wow! Once again tooled-up with the Weber and there's no stopping me! Lovely smooth shave, no nicks or weepers and zero irritation. The MWF lathered up a treat, thanks to the Yorkshire water and the NF 1901 brush (highly recommended for hard soaps)
I'm afraid the E-shave soother is not a patch on my usual Clinique (IMO)... it may find its way onto BST... but such was the awesomeness of the shave, a cold splash was enough anyway... never said that before

It has been a really busy week and I haven't had time to do traditional blade maintenance. Tonight was the CJB. An excellent 2 pass shave
 
Gillette Aristocrat Junior
Astra Superior Platinum (3)
Semogue 1520 boar
Proraso green tub (old)
Proraso Aftershave lotion

My easiest lathering soap. Think I'll blitz it for the next week. There's still plenty left in this tub of the old formula, and I have another in reserve, but I do hope that the newer paraben-free formulation is just as good.
