Muhle R41 with a Feather blade and a Simpsons Duke 3 loaded with TOBS Sandalwood. The cream's scent is pretty strong and combined with a little aftershave lasts a good eight hours. Nothing else needed.

I've never tried TOBS version of Sandalwood.
The one I've got from D.R. Harris has lasted over a year, and I've still got half a bottle. It's oil based.
Once I get through the Marlborough soap, I'll use the wooden bowl for a TOBS soap.

I'm a big fan of all things TOBS. I either have currently, or have had every cream scent they offer, top marks! I have a few backups of the Sandalwood on reserve. Need to stockpile for the Shavepocalypse don't ya know.......:)

I didn't specify and I didn't include it in the picture, but the TOBS Sandalwood I used is their cream. I only have one of the "3Ts" soaps and that's my Geo F. Trumper's Sandalwood. I use a lot of TOBS, T&H, and Trumper's creams and they all work well for me.

Edwin Jagger DE89, Gillette Silver Blue (good combo of mild razor and sharp blade)
Rooney 3/1 Super (a terrific all-purpose brush)
TOBS Avocado
Floid Blue (really nice during warmer weather, and goes well with cologne as the scent fades quickly)
Guerlain Vetiver

Yesterday was a Tabac trio day for me. Today I used my Emperor 2 with Trumper's Lime shaving cream. I used a Mergress XL razor loaded with Feather blades. I finished with SCS's Blue Line after shave and Trumper's Extract of Limes.

I have been trying to use up all the cream samples that I have accumulated over the two years that I've been wetshaving.

Today I started into a sample of Taylor of Old Bond Street's Jermyn Street, their "sensitive" shaving cream. It's quite nice, like the other TOBS creams. I thought it would be scentless, but it is not.

Anyway, on to the shave:

Razor: Gillette English Aristocrat #66
Blade: Lord Platinum
Brush: Rooney 3/1 Super in Tortoiseshell
Cream: TOBS Jermyn Street
A/S: TOBS Victorian Lime (also a sample)
Cologne: D. R. Harris Arlington
