48-hour beard again:
Merkur Progress razor stopped down to mildest, a new Rapira Swedish Steel blade
Boar brush
TFS Sera soap (a little Trumper's Almond cream as a pre-shave after the shower)
Two passes on cheeks and lower lip, three on throat. I let the Merkur off the leash a little for the first pass, then stopped it back down to mildest for the succeeding passes.
Sharp Dressed Man aftershave and Clubman powder
Verdict: A good solid smooth shave. Apparently the adjustability of the Progress is a moot point for me, as it shaves beautifully even at the tightest/mildest setting. A 9.0.
