-- Sunday--

Prep: hot water wash with hand soap
Razor: Merkur Progress set to 4-ish
Blade: Feather Hi-Stainless (2)
Brush: Vintage N.S.Y restore with TGN two band finest
Soap: Palmolive stick mushed into a bowl
Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery G5 in Hamada glaze
Post: Thai Crystal deodorant stick and Thayers Witch Hazel with Aloe

Result: BBS in 3+ passes. Great close comfortable shave with my favorite razor. Palmolive is an excellent inexpensive tallow based soap. I am surprised more people don't use it instead of high shelf stuff. It performs every bit as good as some of the stuff costing 10 times more and smells good too.
