• Hot shower
• Hot towels
• C&E Best Badger
• Smart Shave cream
• Fat Boy/IP (3/5/2|7)
• Witch hazel
• AV Fire & Ice
• SCS Aged Leather Aftershave Milk
• Dolce & Gabbana EDT

Not a big fan of the Smart Shave, got it in a trade. It's the first cream or soap to leave a residue behind on my skin when I was doing my cold water splash after the last pass. Not a fan of having my shaving lubricant stick around.

Mama Bear Attar of Roses Cream
Brought the C&E Best Badger Brush to work to use up some creams with.
Parker 60R Razor/Feather
Finished off with Alum Block, Thayer's Rose Witch Hazel and Nivia Sensitive ASB.

Result: Near BBS with just a hint under the chin of irritation. 4.1/5.0

Note: I've used the Parker 22R and 60R a couple of weeks now. I find I prefer the 60R for two reasons. 1) It's heavier than the 22R and I seem to prefer heavier razors. 2) I found a little rust in the 22R with a 7AM blade in it after 3 days. I need to figure out if it was a reaction to that blade or something else since I'm pretty good at shaking out and patting dry the razors after use. First time I've seen it in any of my razors.
