Shavely's TTO razor
ASCO super stainless blade
Van der Hagen TTO razor
Astra superior platinum blade
Noxema sensative skin shaving cream
Care One witch hazel
Old Spice classic aftershave
Old Spice classic cologne

Warm shower with Old Spice Swagger body wash

I'm still trying to tame this Shavely's razor. It is the most aggressive razor I own. I did the first pass with the Shavely and the second pass with the Van der Hagen. The result was BBS with the feeling that I was about to cut my throat. Witch hazel to Valmont down my skin and me. Old Spice because it is still comforting even with the change and the extra cologne layer because it pushes closer to the original shulton scent.

First use of a boar with the MdC and the lather needs far more work - not protective enough and my face felt a little raw during the morning.

What a soap & great scent! First time trying this soap and aftershave.

Proraso pre-shave, Henri et Victoria Cognac & Cuban Cigars soap and aftershave balm, Omega EVO, Gillette 195 (E1), Tatra platinum, Omega alum, Thayers Toner. Amazing 2.5 pass shave this combination will see plenty of cooler weather use.
