Madison, which is essentially Huntsville. I got interested in wetshaving while looking for groom's gifts a couple of months ago. I just finished the first week with my Merkur and Vulfix. Things started out a bit rough (or should I say raw?), but I'm getting the hang of it and am starting to really enjoy my little routine.
I have tried the above mentioned Avacado, Taylor's Rose, and QED Lime. I like them all and look forward to trying some things out of the box from Ashford that should be sitting on my doorstep this evening. 1805 cologne, 1805 shave cream in a tube, and a tub of the Trafalgar shave cream. My wife of one month thinks I'm nuts, but hey, it's her fault for complaining about the shave I was getting from my Norelco
I'm still trying to get her to understand that rose scented shaving products aren't effeminate. She looks at the bottle of Skin Food with raised eyebrows. I guess I should have bought the Lime and eased her into it.- Thread starter

Great! Well I hope the forum provides you with a touchstone for your shaving. From your kit, it looks like you are off to a great start shaving and we all hope to a great start on matrimony!murchmb said:Madison, which is essentially Huntsville.

A little late posting but....
Friday:
Taylor's P1020 brush.
Bic metal razor.
Arran Aromatics Vetiver cream
QED DaVinci water
Trumper Limes skin food
Guerlain Vetiver EDT
Notes:
The Arran Aromatics cream is very nice and produces a very nice thick lather.
The Bic metal is a wonderful razor for the upper lip/under nose area. I will be stocking up on these as this has always been a problem area for me.
I've found that the combo of cold water rinse following the shave and a few spritzes of the hydrosol really helps heal any nicks or "red spots".
The skin food just helps protect.
Guerlain Vetiver; getting to like this scent more and more with each use.
Hope nobody minds my lengthy post. Just thought I'd make a few comments on the products.
Have a nice weekend.

No picture today - just got back from a trip and feeling a bit spent.
After a long, grimy day, finally got around to showering and shaving.

Neutrogena Razor Defense Facial Scrub
Savile Row SR212 brush
L'Occitane Shave Soap in Cool Metal Bowl
QED DaVinci H20
Baxter's after shave balm
Yardley's Lavender EdT
My face feels like glass, without a trace of irritation - really an amazing shave!
I am definitely developing some opinions/conclusions on glycerin- versus tallow-based soaps. After some more experimentation, I will post my thoughts.

Today I went to the Dark Side 
- Method Shave Day
Simpson Polo 12
CAR "The Cube"
Taylors Avocado
Merkur Progress w/Feather PT
CAR Cutting Balm
QED Davinci Water
CAR A/S Moisture Cream
Creed Green Irish Tweed (This cologne doesn't really do much for me)
Hands down, best shave of my life. That Taylors Avocado mixed with the cube is one FEARSOME force. When it was all said and done, after the cutting balm (which adds a TON of moisture to your face) and the DaVinci H20 & A/S Moisture Cream, my face was butter soft.
Here is the Polo 12 after SIX lather filled passes. The polo keeps its fury of lather hidden in the "bucket" of the brush - so although it appears to have plenty of lather left - it actually has enough to shave a goat with three passes

Back to pictures tomorrow....
Shaved last night, so probably didn't need to shave this morning, but....
SMF brush
Merkur Progess with Merkur blade
Crabtree and Evelyn's Almond Shave Soap
Em's Cucumber AS Splash
Pecksniff's Citrus EdT
Look for the Pecksniff's on the trading forum soon. Very nice, but similar to other scents I have.
