Simpson Tulip 2
Al Raz' Bomb SC, Calabria
Merkur 39c (Super Iridium)
Proraso Splash
Proraso P/P
GFT Limes Skinfood

Love the shave cream. Great, complex scent, and an easy lather. Don't love, on the other hand, the Super Iridium blade. Has torn me up in the 39c, and this (fourth, maybe fifth) is my last shave with the blade, for now.

Pre-Shave: Hot shower + Fresh lemon + Stephan's conditioning shave creme
Razor: 6/8" Theirs-Issard Historical Worked Back, Full hollow, Round point
Brush: 24mm Thäter Silvertip, Olive handle
Überlather: Al's Da Bomb (Calypso - sample) + Mama Bear's Myrrh Shave Soap + Glycerin
Astringent: Thayers Witch Hazel (Lavender, no alcohol)
Post-shave: Trumper's Lime Skin Food
Facial Moisturizer: Trumper's Facial Moisturizer
Cologne: Penhaligon Racquets
Result: Today instead of using my usual Frederick Reynolds wedge to annihilate my 2 day growth, I opted for the 6/8" "historic" Thiers-Issard, which up to this point had not been used too often, and I figured I give it the attention it really deserves :001_smile. Well...I am glad that I did. I already knew that this modest blade would deliver a stellar performance on a "regular", 1 day growth beard, but what really knocked my socks off is that, similar to its heavier cousin (i.e., the Frederick Reynolds), it easily cleaned my thick, 2 day growth and left my face near BBS with the first pass :thumbup1:
