Have a nice day! 
Sunday evening:
Turkish horse hair brush Nr. 6
Arko stick whipped up in a bowl
Meijer/Personna single blade disposable, 1st & 2nd pass
Super Adjustable, P-1, set at 3
Shark Super Stainless blade
Body Shop Razor Relief, <2009 formula
This is normally a shave I do Monday morning, with just two passes from the Personna disposable. Added a final pass with the Gillette/Shark combo for a shave to last until Monday evening.
I'll probably used the Arko stick twice more this week, but there are other creams I prefer to use in between.

warm sink soak of brush and razor
face wash
puck of unknown brand unscented soap I found while unpacking a box
Superspeed w/3 use derby
Gentleman's Regiment brush
3 passes
DFS
followed up with alum block
Avon Windjammer a/s
Avon Lemon Friction Lotion-Witch Hazel mix as a hair tonic
The unknown puck was something I picked up a few years ago on clearance at a drug store.It's rather large ,smells like old vegetable oil but it gave a decent lather.It's glide disappeared as the lather dwindled leading to mid-pass relathering.But it turned out well.

Oh, nice! Not knowing of our theme this morning, this shave still hit the spot:
- Geo F. Trumper cream Sandalwood (nice!)
- Mühle Sophist brush (awesome!)
- Merkur 34c/HD (prefered one)
- Ladas blade (favorite)
- Pinaud Clubman AS (always nice)
Not only the cream is on my personal top list, but also. Definitely.
And, down in the bathroom with my camera, this is me goofing with a different setup -- titled "always prepared!"

Brush: Vie-Long Boar
Soap/Creme: Arko
Razor: Merkur Progress
Blade: Gillette (dark blue pack)
Pre: How towel
Post: Witch Hazel
Hair Groom: Gables Creme Oil
Result: Got a new Vie-Long boar and wanted to try it out. Like most new boar brushes, there was that "new brush smell" (which sadly is a lot less nice than new car smell), so I gave it a basic cleaning and soaking, and figured that if there was one soap stronger than boar stink, it was Arko! Got a nice lather whipped up for a new brush and had a DFS, and the Arko really did overpower the boar stink! Arko isn't my absolute favorite(though it is a regular part of my rotation), but it is certainly my new go-to soap whenever I have a "fragrant" brush.
