Razor: Fatip Lo Storto Gentile
Blade: Big Ben Super Stainless (5)
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T3
Soap: Stirling Pharoah's Dreamsicle
Pre-Shave: Proraso Red
Aftershave: Stirling Pharoah's Dreamsicle (Splash)
I'm continuing with my Lo Storto Gentile, Big Ben Super Stainless, Trafalgar T3, Stirling Dreamsickle soap, and Stirling Dreamsickle splash to top it off. One might think I'm a minimalist. I certainly do. I have it narrowed down to this kit when using it.

Fumbling about.
To continue the theme from Rave's post, today I used my only kit.
Yes, I'm saying this is the only gear available to me.
(Today!)
Happy shaves,
Jim

Pre-shave: Noxzema face wash + hyaluronic acid serum
Razor: ATT S1 Slant (Timeless titanium handle)
Blade: Nacet
Lather: Turtleship Patchouli
Post: Stirling Glastonbury
Marvelous shave this evening, heavy on the patchouli. Turtleship makes an excellent soap, and if you want to bring back your hippie days their patchouli scent is great. Same for Stirling's Glastonbury aftershave ... the patchouli is strong in this one.
The ATT S1 Slant gave me its usual outstanding performance with a new Nacet. Damn this thing shaves great.

Fumbling about.
I'm enjoying hearing about everyone's kit and shaves. Of course, it's the photos I love which prove the shaves are real.
Today the razor of choice was the PAA glow-in-the-dark gimmick called El Fantasma. Used at the most extreme angle, as steep as possible, it's an excellent razor. I like it very much. The shave is close. The gap is almost non existent. It feels smooth and mild.
The handle is almost touching my skin.
Happy shaves,
Jim
