Simpson Grosvenor bristle and badger brush.

Prewash with the bloom water making a very loose lather, then loading the brush for face lather. The razor just glides over my face for a very comfortable 2 pass shave.
I never irritate or cut my face with this combination.

No balm needed as the soap is so good.
 
Pre: Cold water face wash
Brush: Omega 20102 Boar
Soap: Wickhams Ninfeo di Egeria (sample)
Razor: Blackland Sabre L2
Blade: Pal Super CS
Post: Cold water rinse, Pitralon Classic ASL

Another sample from the generous @Blackmass and unfortunately another one I won't be buying.
It has the usual very good Wickhams performance but the scent is a bit heavy and cloying imo.
Cheers Rob, you may have saved me some money as I like the description.
Happy Shaving one and all.
