There are bits and pieces of a number of other soaps which had been almost used up. Works very well.

Shave Of The Day - September 29th TSD Iced SubZero Preshave Balm - :freezing :freezing Hot Shower $9.00 Shea Moisture Brush Lather Bowl TSD Soap - A1 Scent Schick Injector - Easy Rider Edition Vintage Schick Platinum Coated Blade - Day 4 Thayers Witch Hazel/Osage Rub Blend Pinaud Clubman A/S Splash With the A4 SOTQ on the way I decided to use my A1 scent today, and I have nothing but the smallest ring of it left, will probably use it again for the last time tomorrow, and use the bowl for the new scent. I'm getting fairly decent shaves out of the injector but it feels like I'm cheating, just don't seem as enjoyable as a D/E*, so I'll go with 4 blades today. *YMMV and all that stuff!
Today's Shave Wednesday For the past three days I was using a Gillette Tech OC with the a Racer Blade. Definitely not a blade I would use again. Still new enough to be still sampling blades. Today was blade change day and my normal routine is change razors also. While showering the Parker Brush was warming in warm water. I placed my mug in the sink of water. It had a a dollop of Dalain d'men shaving cream. After the shower I prepped my face with Johnson Baby Oil. The Parker Brush whipped up a mound of lather. My Gillette Tech Fat Handle was loaded with a Crown Blade. End result a nice BBS. After shave splash with Classic Aqua Vela Blue, followed with Canoe after shave balm. A great shave and a great start to the day.
