Bulldog Face Wash
Wickham's Super Smooth South Sea Spray
Muhle 33K256 Silvertip Fibre
Autostrop Valet VC3
Feather FAS (1)
Hot Rinse, Cold Rinse & Alum Wash
Witch Hazel Toner
Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue Aftershave

Face Lathered
One Pass (Valet VC3) - WTG
Two Pass (Bic Sensitive) - XTG & ATG

I was just chatting to a pal about these blades which reminded me that I still have some and with that first pass remembered why I set them aside ...

To use his phrase: they couldn't cut their way out of a paper bag!

I finished off, well shaved, with a Bic Sensitive.
 
Hot water face splash
Exfoliating face wash with Dr. Squatch Pine Tar Soap
Seifenglatt 2014 LE #2*
Omega #622
Ikon Deluxe Open Comb
Rapira Swedish Supersteel
Cold water face splash
Brut Splash On Lotion

* The Seifenglatt 2014 Limited Edition #2 is even better than LE #1. The scent is masculine yet sensual; earthy with citrus tones. Believe it or not, the Brut complemented it perfectly. I used a little more product this time to really load the brush and increased the water until the bowl burst with lather. Even after 2.5 passes, there was still plenty of life left.

The Seifenglatt is definitely in my top 5 shaving soaps and, on a good day, can easily pitch for top spot.
