Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: 1956 Gillette Red Tip Superspeed
Blade: Astra Superior Platinum
Brush: Simfix Grosvenor LE Two-Band
Soap or Cream: Proraso Classic Cream (old formula)
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Wesley & Scott Lavender Balm
Another great shave from mostly out of production shaving products. Of the products used, only the MRGLO pre-shave soap, Dickinson's witch hazel, and Astra Superior blades are still in production. I am assuming that the old formula Proraso is no longer being produced, now that the reformulated version is on the market.

Georgetown G4 scuttle
Homemade frankincense & myrrh preshave oil
Somerset Simpson Chubby 1 Super brush
Penhaligon's Lords shaving cream
Wilkinson Sticky razor
Wilkinson Light Brigade blade (5)
Penhaligon's Hammam Bouquet aftershave
One of my best shaves ever. Of all my shaving creams, in terms of overall qualities of lathering, cushion, glide, and scent, the Lords is clearly the top.
