Still in and had my first Haslinger Schafmilch shave today, fantastic lather from this soap!

Pre-shave (in order of use)
- Hawkins and Brimble Face Wash
- Jack Black Face Buff Scrub
- Truefitt and Hill Pre-shave oil
- Haslinger Schafmilch

Post-shave (in order of use)
- Osma Alum Block
- Stirling Tea Tree, Witch Hazel & Aloe
- Hylamide Skin Serums
- Hawkins and Brimble Elemi and Ginseng Aftershave Balm

Tools
- FaTip Piccolo Gentile Slant
- Voskhod (3)
- Antica Barberia Mondial Boar

Fragrance for the day:
- Floris Santal EDT
 
Day 23, 76.7% complete.

Preshave: Hot washcloth
Soap: Saponificio Varesino 70th Anniversary Edition
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Synthetic Cashmere
Razor: Rockwell 6S, R3, Astra SP #7
Post-shave: Nivea 2-Phase Lotion.

Used the Rockwell, and got a near-BBS result with no irritation.

With good prep, R3 works on 24 hours of growth, and since I'm used to R4 or R5, there's hardly any blade feel.

There's a lot to be said for de-escalating the settings to the minimum that does the job.
 
Still in.

I was out of State for the last two weeks attending several marriages of family friends.

My first time taking a proper shaving kit was a good experience and it included:

RazoRock Game Changer 84 OC
Gillette Nacet
Witch Hazel
RazoRock Puros shave soap
Pearl 22 mm Synthetic brush

Ps: I need to seriously consider getting a new mobile with better camera.

What did you use, MiP?
My nearly fixed setup (pic is 2-3 weeks old):
Razorock Eco Hawk - fixed
Vitos Tabacco cream - fixed until i'm done with it
Vitos AS - or Proraso red/green or Floid and always the 400ml Barber size
a blue or red Omega 10108 - fixed until one of them gives out then it will be another Omega boar
and today half a Treet Classic carbon blade - always a different blade and I toss them after one shave
