Shave:
Rooney SuperSmall 3/3 in horn
Slim + Platinum Feather
DR Harris Arlington soap
Hot towel treatment at sink
WWR
CWR
Pashana AS spritz
Anherb AS lotion

 

I find the Futur to be a different animal that needs to be used on a regular basis or I end up relearning how to shave with it. The Progress is much closer to the Classic razors so I don't have the transition problem.
