Cheers!
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
Savile Row badger
'Webly'/Iridium
RL Safari SS
Neutrogena oil free moisture
RL 'Safari' EdT (old juice)
This old soap is among the easiest stuff to whip up a great lather with. Not only that. but it only takes anout 10 seconds to load the brush with plenty of wonderfulness.....half the time of most other soaps.
And not only that, it works great. Plus it smells really good too! Recently bought three more pucks for $50 shipped. Two were shipped out to TSR members, leaving the extra one for addition to the arsenal. Not cheap, but not incredibly expensive either.

Prep: Splash of hot water
Scuttle: Schwarzweisskeramik
Razor: Henckels Friodur 15/16" full hollow
Brush: Simpsons Chubby 1 best badger
Cream: St James of London 'Cedarwood & Clarysage'
Astringent: Osma Alum
Aftershave: St James of London 'Cedarwood & Clarysage'
Notes: A very good shave this morning, using a new jar of St James Cedarwood & Clarysage. Good news I can report is that from what I can tell, the formulation remains unchanged - very easy to get huge lather. Though the jar I opened to test seemed to not be as full as I'd expect. Still for £5, one can't complain too much.

Pre: Proraso pre-shave (sensitive)
Soap: Tabac Stick (soap of the week)
Bowl: Woodhead Scuttle #1B
Brush: Semogue 630
Razor: Progress @3, 2.5, 2
Blade: Iridium Super (1)
After: Barbershop Bay Rum, Tabac ASB
Tabac Week Day 2
.. although it seems I'm the only one doing Tabac.
So much better using the Progress (than yesterday's New), it even sings to you.
This boar brush works really well for face lathering from a stick soap.
Altogether, a great working combination and completed with even more Tabacness with the ASB.
Good Tuesday.

I'll do Tabac some time this week if it makes you feel better.

Hot flannel
Proraso pre, green
New Forest 1901, LEA stick
ATT Atlas R1, Rapira SS (3)
Cold splash, alum block
Clinique post-shave healer
Pushing it a bit by using the Atlas R1 for a second consecutive day... but a fine result.
Getting a great lather from the LEA stick now, but it's a pesky thing to hold on to and doesn't stay in the plastic holder very well... I wish it came in a chunky format like Tabac (and the Speick stick too for that matter)
