Pre shave - Proraso green in hot shower
Soap - Proraso green cream
Brush - Semogue badger owners club
Razor - Rockwell 6s #3
Blade - German Wilkinson Sword (16)
A/S - Proraso green splash

Definitely feel the blade is loosing sharpness, required a little bit more work, but the results are still excellent without any irritation. Almost BBS except a tiny spot on the neck, which is very sensitive so I am very careful there.
