Could have been a perfect shave....but I rushed and had a couple of weepers under my nose. It seems I live but never learn!

Greetings All,
Monday shave.
Two days' growth and warm shave
Preparation – face washed with Clique Liquid facial soap (mild)
Pre: None
Soap: TOBS Sandalwood shaving cream
Razor: Merkur 37C
Blade: Pol Silver (2nd)
Brush: RazoRock 400 Noir
Post Shave: Cold water rinse, followed by Alum, then a shower and to conclude Proraso aftershave lotion (red) and Nivea 2 Phase.
3 passes (WTG, XTG and ATG), and again, not using the pre-shave even with the Merkur 37c has left me bemused as (OK had a few weepers, again due to over doing my touch ups) I have finished up very smooth. The alum gave a momentary burn, but nothing like before and I seem to be getting more audio feedback which is helping my shave. Ow, and still loving the Polsilver blade - up there with the Sharks for me.
I will leave the Proraso pre-shaves out our my routine for the foreseeable future and concentrate on perfecting my lathers.

The right blade for the Supply SE is essential. I have a tough beard, and find I can only get a decent Shave with a Schick Proline Type B.
