Synthetic badger from TGN in my father's Surrey handle
Body Shop Shave Cream, <2009 formula, laced w. KMF fragrance free, bowl lathered
Schick twin blade disposable w. sliding plastic cap/top plate (1st pass)
Schick Krona w. 7 o'clock yellow (2nd pass +touch-up)
Target witch hazel
Nivea Sensitive ASB

About 44 hrs. since previous shave, so I started with the twin blade disposable for a quick mow-down first pass. Then grabbed the Krona
as it was already loaded with a blade. Stopped at DFS to save time and because going for BBS can lead to too many weepers. Mostly
grabbed what was readily available, rather than open a new pack of blades and load a razor.

DFS was just fine for getting me through the evening.
 
Fabulous to say the least:

* Hot flannel soak
* Castle Forbes Pre Shave
* Thiers-Issard horn brush
* Pils 101NE
* Iridium super
* Castle Forbes Limes
* Alum block
* new Simpson Shave Balm
* Lubin Le Vetiver
