My Thursday Morning Shave
Prep: Warm shower
Strop: Tony Miller Premium Steerhide Smooth w/ Linen
Two pass shave: WTG, ATG/XTG
Razor: Ralf Aust 6/8" Full Hollow Spanish Point Carbon Steel - Olivewood Scales
Pre-Shave Cream: Proraso White Cream For Sensitive Skin, Green Tea & Oat
Brush: Elite Razor Spalted (‘rotten wood‘) Maple handle - Full Moon 26mm
Soap: Murphy & McNeil Bull and Bell Series: Vetiver (First time using!)
Facial Toner: Thayers Original Witch Hazel Facial Toner w/ Aloe Vera Formula
Aftershave Balm: Proraso After Shave Balm, Cypress & Vetyver
9.8/10 BBS! DFS! No irritation! - First time using this soap! First impression is excellent! Lather seemed to last. Brush had enough on it for a second pass without reapplying the soap. Slickness seemed good. The scent was on the milder side (which I prefer for soaps). I need to try it a few more times before this is "official".
- Long story short, I was out of my regular routine this morning. I didn't really assess my shave until work was about over. I realized this must have been a BBS shave!
- I love this razor!
- The Proraso Cypress & Vetyver AS matches very well with the Murphy & McNeil Bull and Bell Series Vetiver soap ( @Olajidebt )
Wonderful shave today. Its been 12 hours and my cheeks are still smooth. I had one mishap on my melon that I have been dealing with but I got careless it wasn't the equipment. Irritation free shave 9/10

Soap The Goodfellas Smile Italian Orange
Brush Yaqi 26mm Orange Black
Razor Yaqi AC Brass
Blade Feather ProGuard 3rd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + The Goodfellas Smile Orange Empire AS
Long ignored soap. One of my fav soap. The nice orangey scent, easy to lather, and beautifully creamy and slick too.
This razor with the blade continues to provide a silky smooth and comfortable shave. Another glass-like BBS result after 3passes. I am amazed at the ease and the efficiency especially at areas (adam apple) where other DE razors just can't reach.
The AS is new and matched perfectly with the soap. Very uplifting for the morning...
Another 10/10 rating for the day!

A pretty damn good shave this morning. The soap was stellar, the brush was OK (not broken in yet) and the razor/blade combo was excellent (I forgot how comfortable the Progress is).

Third shave comparing these two Israeli made Personna blades in my Slim Adjustable set at 7 and again they performed very similarly well. The Red felt a touch smoother today, but there still isn't really much in it.
Overall a pleasant shave with no irritation or feedback from the Alum block.
It was also the last shave with Cella Bio in my rotation, onto the Body Shop Maca Root and Aloe Shaving cream next (after a week trying a sample)
