Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Edwin Jagger Chatsworth
Blade: Rapira Swedish Supersteel
Brush: Vie-Long "Gonzalo" (04102) Horse/Boar
Soap: Cella
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel/RazoRock XXX Aftershave Wax
A nice, close shave this morning. It was my second use of the RazoRock aftershave wax–I like it for its soothing and protective quality, although it has a somewhat strange scent IMO. I’ll need it today because the weather is quite chilly and I will be outside much of the time.

Shave Secret preshave oil
Schwarzweisskeramik XL scuttle
Somerset Simpson Emperor 3 Super (21/48)
Penhaligon's English Fern shaving soap (vintage)
Feather AS
Balaka carbon steel (2)/Iridium Super (1)
Houbigant Fougere Royale splash aftershave (vintage)
I didn't want to waste the great Pen's lather on the Balaka, which was even worse - awful - the second day, so I switched after one pass to the IS blade, and after that the shave was as smooth as silk.
