I can't stand shaving at the girlfriend's. Cold, steamy bathroom with the mirror in completely the wrong place.
 
Gillette Fusion ProGlide
Semogue 620 Boar
Proraso Soap (Green)

Was rooting around my shaving draw and found the ProGlide with 1 blade. Shaved with it on Monday and today, and the planet still appears to be on its axis.

Shaving in record time, which means that I actually get time to drink a cup of tea before I leave for work.

A good shave from budget priced software. The Palmolive is a top soap for the price of 50p. Freshwood aftershave £2.60. A different razor and blade set up for tomorrows shave.
 
Cold water splash
D.R. Harris Windsor soap
Shavemac 177 Silvertip

Super Iridium (4)
Weleda ASB

The Super Iridium blade just keeps going, and going, and going... I think I'll get a 5th shave out of it without trouble.

FS Pur-Tech
Astra stainless (1)
Speick soap and a/s lotion
Freshwood a/s/balm

Decent shave, couple of nicks. Got sick of the stick so i've grated the speick into a tub. Love the smell of this
 
Prep: Cold Water Splash, Nuage Oil
Razor: Red Tip Rocket
Blade: 7 O'Clock Permasharp (1)
Brush: Gecko Stumpy 2-Band
Soap: VITOS Super Extra Coconut
Post: Witch Hazel Splash
Aftershave: Floid 'The Genuine'

My first use of this brush, nice soft face feel, plenty of backbone and whipped up a lovely slick lather very quickly on my face.

Obviously it will take a little time to get used to the soap loading/water ratio, but from my first use i can see this one being an awesome brush for face lathering.
