Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Edwin Jagger DE87
Blade: Rapira Swedish Supersteel
Brush: Omega 31025 "Scarlatti" Boar
Soap or Cream: Taylor's Sandalwood Hard Soap
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Ogallala Bay Rum, Limes & Peppercorns Toner

A very nice shave, especially considering that I was a bit rushed. I'm liking the Omega brush quite well after only a few shaves.

Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Merkur Long-Handled Progress, Merkur Moustache Razor
Blade: Treet DuraSharp
Brush: Vie-Long "Gonzalo" Boar/Horsehair
Soap or Cream: Portman Square Notting Hill Cream/Soap
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Meehan Bay Rhum Splash

A great shave this morning! Again, the moustache razor was a big help in shaving above and under my moustache. I could probably do a passable job with the Progress, but the little moustache razor makes it easy and is more precise in tight spaces. The Meehan splash provided a fine, classic finish to this very pleasant shave.
