Soap: Razorock Irish Countryside- nice mild scent with excellent lather qualities. Good post shave feel also.
Brush: Yaqi rainbow brown whiskers 26mm synthetic, excellent lather generator with cloud like soft tips + good back bone for a nice scrub, paints lather great.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser+ a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock Emperor with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm (-21C, humidity 40 indoors)

A good shave.

Except... and I hate to admit it, but I got a (quickly disappearing) weeper on my chin. Normally I'd know exactly what the cause was, but this time I didn't notice anything before spotting the red dot. The thing that came to mind straight away was that the blade was sharper than before (due to me carefully honing it on my whiskers each shave).
You think that's crazy? I ain't a member of the BOSC for nuttin'.


Happy shaves guys.
