shower for face prep razor: Shaving Factory butterfly DE blade: Gillette india Wilkinson brush: Omega S synthetic soap: Godrej shaving round post: Osage Rub followed by Speick Aftershave Lotion I gotta say the Godrej shaving round is truly underrated. I did a 3 pass shave and it came out baby butt smooth. I hardly hear any mention about this soap so I decided to try it and it blew me away. people often refer to it as the Williams of India so I didn't have high expectations at first, but this soap out performed more expensive soaps in my rotation. it has a slight clean type scent similar to Palmolive shave stick but lighter. Its so slick that I can go back over and do touch ups without burning my face off if theres no soap left in the area. this was my fourth shave with this blade but it felt like it was new.
