PAA Organism 46B soap, Wild West Brushworks Radioactive Core badger brush, PAA Ascension Double Open Comb razor, loaded for bear with a Derby blade, and a finish with barrel aged PAA Boomtown Bay Rum aftershave. Two clean passes, not a bit of touch up needed, excellent quality shave. The Boomtown Bay Rum splash is the bomb.

A favourite of mine. If available over there I recommend Atkinsons Gold Medal, Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonial Concentrada and/or Roger & Gallet Jean-Marie Farina. Like 4711 the first two are fleeting, the Farina has a bit more stamina but still not a marathon runner.
Pre: Warm water splash Brush: Vulfix 404 Badger/Boar Soap: MWF Razor: DeHaven Model Two Blade: Feather Pro Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Quorum ASL I've had this razor for a while but haven't been able to use it because it takes proprietary blades but thanks to the talent of @twhite I finally got to give it a go, cheers Tom. At the moment I prefer the slightly uglier sister - the Model Three - but it's early days. First go with the Puig Quorum as well and I like it. Happy Shaving one and all.
You're welcome Doug, that should be "Concentrada", corrective text thought it knew better. Thanks Doug, yes Tom's a very talented man.
A new one. Since I'm flying to San Jose CA and taking PAA Atmotic AS and shave soap and as seen on the PAA label, the Atmotic was or is a dirigible balloon or zeppelin so I thought out would be a fun tie in with me flying out today. Sent from my SM-J327P using Tapatalk
