Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: 1954 Gillette Ball-End Tech*
Blade: Astra Keramik*
Brush: Simfix Grosvenor LE Two Band*
Soap or Cream: Proraso Classic Soap*
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Proraso Classic Splash*

This morning's shave was a smooth, cool, and comfortable trip down Memory Lane with some products that are no longer in production (indicated by asterisks). Admittedly, the Proraso products have just recently been discontinued, and I have heard that the replacement formulas are very good.

SRD scuttle
Homemade frankincense & myrrh preshave oil
Somerset Simpson Keyhole 4 Best brush
Atkinson's shaving soap
Wilkinson Sticky razor
Wilkinson London Bridge blade (3)
Hermes Equipage aftershave

A great shave. The KH4 is a fine workhorse, and the Atkinson's is quite good, pretty much the equal of Yardley. The LB blade is one of the best I've ever used.
