Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Tradere OC (first generation)
Blade: Gillette Super Thin
Brush: Thäter Stout 2
Soap: D.R. Harris Lavender Hard Soap

I couldn’t have asked for a nicer shave. Not only were the whiskers mowed off closely and effortlessly, but my face was left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and protected.

Ach Brito Glyce preshave soap
Georgetown G4 scuttle
Somerset Simpson Chubby 1 2-Band Super (24/48)
C&S Oxford & Cambridge shaving soap
Wilkinson Sticky
Super-Max Titanium (2)
Ralph Lauren aftershave balm (vintage)

An excellent shave. This was my first time using the O&C soap, and I had to play with it some to find the right water balance, but eventually it was fine. I was a little disappointed in its scent, which was so subtle as to be almost nonexistent. I hope it "loosens up" with more scent when used more.
