Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Brush: Vulfix 2234 Super Badger
Soap/Cream: Proraso cream
A/S: Dickinson’s Witch Hazel/Proraso Splash
Wowee!! Great shave this morning--that Proraso tingle is just what I needed. I should use Proraso more often. It produced great lather and plenty of it.
The Proraso A/S, used after the WH had dried, produced an added tingle and an excellent finish.

Bay Rum of any sort precedes Hermes Equipage beautifully. Lately, I've also been impressed by the soothing capacity of Superior 70, despite its high alcohol content. Harris lather was better today, but not as impressive as I remember. Maybe it will get better as I readjust to it?

Razor: Merkur Vision
Blade: Iridium Super
Brush: Shavemac 208
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Tabac
A/S: Musgo Real Classic Aftershave
This was my 3rd shave with the Vision and the 3rd time was definitely the charm. In my previous shaves I thought I was shaving with the Vision on 2 but I actually had it opened more than that. No wonder I was getting nicks. This time I dialed it all the way down and enjoyed an irritation free BBS shave. The beast has been tamed!
Tabac soap is always a favorite and the Musgo Real aftershave felt great. Although this is an alcohol based aftershave, there are oils and glycerin added which makes it fairly moisturizing for an alcohol based aftershave.

Merkur 39c Slant
Swede
Simpson's Best Badger Special
Kent (MWF) Soap
L'Occitane Cade a/s splash
First shave with a slant, and I still appear to have my facial appendages attached, and the same amount of blood coursing through my veins as I woke up with.

Those who design "Fool Proof" systems often underestimate the ability of fools.
Tim, I like it better than most of the high-priced spreads. But it wasn't the high alcohol content that had me concerned, it was the napalm.TBoner wrote: . . .
