nice image, sir!

Soap: Acqua di Parma
Brush: El Druida redwood handle, 26mm synthetic
Razor: EJ DE89 with Ikon handle
Blade: Gillette 7 O'clock black (1)

Very nice shave! AdP smelled wonderful and made way too much lather (shame to waste it). Easy 3-pass BBS and skin is glowing with the menthol hit.

Excellent, a dual-mirror shot!
Another midnight shave. 4 day's worth of stubble; too much.
--Hot shower, Earthly Delight shampoo, incl. beard
--de la Cruz Sweet Almond Oi, pre-shave
--Utilemud bowl
--WD 22 x 50 silvertip brush
--Truefitt & Hill Almond Cream
--Fatboy set at 5
--Feather blade, 2
--Cold rinse
--D. R. Harris Pink aftershave
--Geo. F. Trumper Coral Skin Food
First time using an oil pre-shave. I liked it. My new T&H Almond cream was aces, one of the best creams I've used. Thick, slick, cushiony. Can't wait to break out the Rose.
My usual 2-pass and touch-up wasn't enough. Three full passes with no irritation, but not quite a DFS.

Blade: Rapira Swedish Supersteel (3)
Brush: oscar11 TGN 2-Band Finest-24mmx50mm

Proraso White tub for sensitive skin with menthol. This was one of the first soaps I used and it is still a favorite. The Rapira Swede and Slim are still chugging along. I got an excellent smooth, close, and nick free shave. I finished with Fine American Blend.
