Merkur 33c three piece razor Wilkinson stainless steel blade
Van der Hagen deluxe badger brush
Van der Hagen deluxe shaving soap
Care One witch hazel
Clubman aftershave
Racing Club blue eau de toilette

Hot shower prep with Old Spice Swagger body wash

The hot water felt good on my battered body. For an inexpensive off the shelf soap Van der Hagen performs a good workman like job. It's slicker and more cushioning than the best jello or canned foam. I made a solid face lather. The Merkur is an old friend of 20+ years and was my first DE when I started wet shaving. It is both solid clamping and nimble on the face. Two lathered passes are good enough to go about my daily chores. Witch hazel and Clubman finish and a little Racing Club blue to keep me from smelling like every guy walking out of barbershop.

Personal note: My brother passed sunday. I'm not completely back yet. Grief is a process and not a destination but he's no longer in pain and he's with the Lord. I want to thank everyone for their kind thoughts and support and also for this website that has been a calm place I could go to during this trying time. Thank you all.

The RSP set at #3.4 was pretty much spot on in feel and efficiency compared to the ATT CR1 which is the medium plate of the range.
I completed my 2 pass shave routine with a little touch up on the Adams apple and high cheeks for a very nice finish.
Enjoy your day all.
