I got my PIF box in today, which meant two new soaps, a Zenith Boar brush and a bottle of PAA Al  Fin aftershave.  I also got a cool blade pif from 
@PLAla which included some injector blades.  I was excited to use my new injector razor, so I was really bummed when I went to load it and realized one of the blade stops was worn and chipped off to the point that it will not hold a blade.  So...I punted and used my RazoRock slant.
Soap was PAA Cool Spice.  It's not a dead ringer for Old Spice, but it's strong and it's pretty darn close.  I like the scent a lot.  This stuff lather so easily it feels like cheating.  Again, it's not my most slick soap, but it makes up for it with cushion. 
The star of the show was the Zenith Boar, which instantly became my favorite boar brush. It's soft, but still has some scritch and backbone.  It has less loft than my Omega or Stirling, but holds a ton of lather and gives it up easily.  I went three passes without reloading the brush, and could have gone 3 more easily.  The handle is heavy and feels well balanced.
Overall a great shave with a small weeper on the neck.  I tried some Proraso Styptic Gel, and man...so long as I can find this stuff I will not go back to a Styptic pen.  Instant stop with a very tiny amount, and zero mess.  Of course, I finished off with Old Spice.
