Razor: Merkur Long-Handled Progress
Blade: Super Iridium
Brush: Vulfix 2234 Super
Cream: Speick
A/S: Generic Witch Hazel, Speick Splash
BBS today without really trying. Actually, what happened is that I was thinking over the day's upcoming activities while I was shaving and went into the dreaded RoboShave mode and made an unintentional added pass. The results were great, though (could have had a nasty nick from not paying attention to the shave).
I'm a Speick lover and don't mind saying so--very good stuff.

Good morning. Wednesday:
Jaggerooney w/Dorco 301, #4
SR 3120
NB Signature
Thayer's Lavender witch hazel
Harris Pink
Atkinson's English Lavender Water (US)
Very comfy shave with the Nancy Boy, but it really does require extra work to get as close as I like. Despite this problem, the scent is addictive.

Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Feather
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Brush: Simpson Ehsan
Soap: Palmolive Shave Stick
A/S: Mr. Taylor
I have found that Palmolive stick requires a little more water than my other soaps. I started out with a wetter than usual brush and was rewarded with mounds of rich creamy lather. I have cracked this nut! The Futur with a fresh Feather blade effortlessly mowed down the stubble leaving me with a BBS face. Mr. Taylor remains a favorite.

Cella
Speick a/s
Today was my first time out with the cella. good stuff. the little bit of speick i used to close the pores was probably unnecessary.
prior to today, i'd been using the above setup for 6 mos. except Art of Shaving sandalwood soap instead of the cella. my problem these days is i've been wearing a beard, so i'm doing upkeep around the neck and cheecks but using up a cake of soap will be taking even longer now that i'm not shaving my whole face.
