Razor - Above the Tie Atlas R1
Blade - Astra SP
Brush - WCS Infinity "Night Swamp" 26mm 3-band finest
Soap - Sudsy Soapery Pine & Cedar
A/S - Proraso Cypress & Vetiver

Another amazing shave from this fine tool. Sudsy Soapery makes a ridiculously slick lather, and between that and this razor/blade combo, the stubble didn't stand a chance. And again, my face feels like it was never scraped, just silky smooth. A+
