Crabtree and Evelyn Scuttle
Proraso
Black Bear brand strop 40 x on linen 40 x leather
Barclay Bros. 6/8 spike point razor
2 passes WTG and Xtg (across the grain)

then my next shave might be something like this:

I actually didn't shave today, which is rare for me. But I'm also wearing bluejeans to class, which is likewise rare. My shave routine doesn't vary much, however:

C.O. Bigelow (Proraso) Premium Shave Cream or Dove Soap (melted into my shave mug).

Whipped into a nice lather with either a Burmashave or Clubman brush.

Razor is a GEM Micromatic using Treet blades (the best out of the three kinds I've tried).

Sometimes I finish up with some aftershave gel, but lately I've been using No-Ad SPF 50 sunblock.

My morning routine would be using Crabtree and Evelyn Sienna shave soap with a DE razor and badger brush from ebarbershop.com. Blade's are Guillette but im not liking them, going back to supermax.

I just tried the Sienna for the first time. Love the scent, but it seemed irritating on the skin. Oh, well... I'll call it hurried technique, and keep using it.

Today's shave:
C.E. Bigelow Proraso knock-off cream
C&E English Pewter brush
Vintage Merkur slant w/ swedish gillette blade (properly corked)
No alum (yes!)
Thayer's rose witchhazel
Jason 6-in-1 aftershave

Result: BBS, baby!

Taylor of Old Bond St Avacado

EarthScience Aftershave Splash
The Body Shop Kistna Aftershave Balm
Davidoff Good Life cologne
