Very early Wednesday morning: Razor: Le Grelot, Thiers-Issard, 6/8 full hollow (not the...hrm, can't recall if it was a half-hollow or quarter-hollow that was and I reckon still is a legend, but still one of my very favorite razors) Brush: SemogueI can't recall the model name! Apologies... Soap: Martin de Candre
A fine restful shave, and a good one to sleep on...
Prep: warm face wash with She Moisture scrub, Proraso PSC
Soap: TSD Signature lanolin
Brush: HIS Synthetic
Razor: Maggard MR10
Blade: Gillette 7 o'clock sharp edge yellow (2)
AS: TSD Signature AS Milk
Smooth, easy great shave today. Using my Merkur 33c yesterday made me appreciate my MR10 more... I prefer a heavy razor - I think I tried to compensate for the lighter weight yesterday by adding pressure. Today I let the heft of the razor do the work and my face feels the better for it.
The soap performed admirably, quickly producing loads of slick fragrant lather. This one works better than the Subzero, maybe due to the lanolin?

I pulled out my Red Tip this morning. I just got the Figaro this week. I got it because I liked its cousin, Barbon, so much. As expected, I got easy, smooth, slick lather and a great shave. The Figaro has a nice light scent and was a good finish. It is hard to beat $9.89+shipping(from the US) for both the cream and the aftershave!
