Czech&Speake "Oxford&Cambridge" shaving soap (sample).
ATT S2 / Timeless "Plaid" handle.

Rebul "Lavanda" EdC.

Pre: Warm water splash
Brush: Semogue SOC Boar
Soap: Monsavon
Razor: Gem MMOC
Blade: Gem PTFE
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Razorock American Barber ASL

Every time I use this razor, I'm reminded just how good it is.
Ditto with the soap.

Pre: Warm water splash
Brush: Thater 4125/1 ST
Soap: P&B Spitfire
Razor: ATT R2
Blade: Astra SS
Post: Warm then cold water rinse, Layrite No.9 ASL

There must've be been a glut of candles in the Astra factory because the amount of wax holding the blade to the wrapper was astounding.
No worries though as the shave was very good.
Happy Shaving one and all.
