Soap from Aleppo 100% oliva - Rooney 1/2 silvertip - Merkur Progress - Blue Bird #1 - Pre JASÖN - Tabula Rasa koriander & bergamotte shaving cream - Alum block - Astringent Thayers Lemon - Gel aftershave JASÖN 6 in 1 - ASL Myrsol Agua de Limón.
Is that an older/vintage Merkur Progress? Or did you put the red paint in the closed comb grooves? Either way, it looks pretty cool.
Also, I always enjoy your SOTD photos.

Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: Merkur Progress XL
Blade: Lord Platinum Class
Brush: Vie-Long Gonzalo Boar/Horsehair
Soap: Proraso (Green Pot)
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel, Alpa 378 Splash
Another hot one today--the day, not the shave! The shave was close, cool, and comfortable, with the Gonzalo providing copious amounts of great lather. The splash of Alpa was a fine finish, and now I'm ready to walk Cody, the dog, and run some errands before it gets REALLY hot.

Razor: Merkur Futur
Blade: Lord Platinum Class
Brush: Thater Stout 1
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Taylor Lavender (Old Formula)
A/S: Acqua di Parma
When I heard that the Taylor Lavender soap in a bowl had been discontinued I could not resist the urge to adopt a bowl for myself. I am glad that I did! Dr. Moss asserts that this is actually a tallow soap and my experience agrees with his assertion. I enjoyed a great shave followed by a splash of Acqua di Parma.
