Microtouch TTO razor
Treet New Steel blade
Van der Hagen boar brush
Captain's Choice Sandalwood shaving soap
Aqua Velva musk aftershave

Captain's Choice is a softer soap than I am used to. It loaded on th boar brush with little effort and whipped up into a rich luxurious lather. First pass went well and even with the lather scraped away there was enough slickness to do some clean up. Second pass took it to the edge of BBS. The Aqua Velva Musk paired well with the Sandalwood and brought my shave to a pleasant finish.

Wed 2 August

Omega 11137 boar
Tabac soap
Asylum Injector
Schick Proline ( 1 )

Today changed the blade in The Asylum, and so using a Proline for the second time. Found loading the blade very easy compared with the first time that I used it.
A long time since I used this soap and brush, both worked well together to produce a very good lather for the Shave. The Shave was hassle free and the finish quite good, but not so sure that it is any better than the ones that I get with a PAL Injectomatic. Will probably
use one next time out to do a comparison.

Pre - Droyt's Classic Glycerose Soap
Brush - Vintage Butterscotch Culmak Plus Pure Bristle 1950
Soap - Vintage Cussons 1950's
Razor - Schick J1 1958-64
Blade - NOS Schick Injector
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Barts Balm Ben Lomond - Cinnamon & Patchouli

6 and out for the vintage Schick blade, it was struggling a bit towards the end of the shave.
2 passes for a DFS+ finish, the J1 being milder than PAL i used yesterday, plus i did not want to push the blade.
A nice post shave routine finishing with a splash of Safari.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
