Sun Jan 8
Brush: Vie-Long Horse
Soap/Creme: Cella
Razor: Merkur Slant
Blade: Gillette (dark blue pack)
Pre: How Towel
Post: alum followed by Witch Hazel
Hair Groom: Gables Creme Oil
Result: Got a DFS after 3 passes and was liking the blade, so I went for a 4th to try for BBS. I mostly got it, but also got a little irritation. Sometimes it is best to know when to stop. ;>

I've got nothing whatsoever Japanese in the Shave Stash at the moment... even my Feather blades are gone. But I'm guessing this'd be a really short thread otherwise.

So today:
'62 Gillette Slim
Gillette SharpEdge yellow blade
Jagger brush
Pottersong bowl
AoS Sandalwood cream
Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum

No pics, but sunday night's shave was:

AOS Pure Badger
Superlather of eShave almond cream under Conk almond soap
Merkur HD

and, finally for the Japan theme:
Feather Blade on what must have been shave #4. I retired it following the shave.
