Andy, love your choices including the Plisson 12 Briar and the Creed BDP which many claim to be the only one that they cannot do without. I have never tried the P.160, so cannot comment on that.

Yesterday:
Semogue Owner's Club Two Band
Nancy Boy Replentishing Shave Cream
Moss Scuttle
1947 Super Speed
Derby blade
St. Charles Shave Sandalwood AS

Today:
Saville Row 3118
Valobra Stick
Disposable two-blade Trac-2 clone
Osage Rub AS

I didn't mail blades ahead so I used the disposable razor. OK shave but little tactile feedback, just press to face and pull.

Gentlemen, here is today's shave bill:

Razor: Ralf Aust 6/8 round point *
Brush: Vulfix super
Soap: Mike's Natural
Pre-shave: Edwin Jagger
Scuttle: Moss
Face lather
Alum
Witch hazel
Balm: Institute Karite
Aftershave: Bronnley

* Ralf Aust is a relatively new brand of German razor and this was my first shave with it. I must admit, I am quite pleased with the Aust. The scales are standard plastic, although far from flimsy. The blade is quite handsome. The razor seems to be well put together. Most of all, I liked the shave — it came shave ready. This is a keeper.
