Three passes with my oldest Livi (briarwood and bluetongue Damasteel), using Woods of Windsor soap and a Simpson Beaufort. Followed with Paco Rabanne. God, that felt good!

Brush: Kent BK4
Soap: D.R. Harrris almond
Razor: '54 Gillette flare tip
Blade: Fresh Gillette 7 O'Clock yellow
Aftershave: Grand Bay - Bay Rum

Great smooth shave. Dare I say BBS?
First time with the new bay rum AS. Wonderful scent but there's no flow restricter. Being the intrepid type with exceptional eye/hand coordination I went forward with the post-shave application. Less than fully successful. Ended up with a palm full of bay rum. Returned some of it to the bottle but the end result was more on the counter than my face. Advanced technique to follow.
