Gillette Tech Ball End
Personna Red (#1)
QED Rose Shave Soap
AOS Badger Brush
Aqua Velva Classic

First go with the QED Rose soap...my face does not like it. Had a sting to it, and my face is now red. As my technique improves the Tech's lack of aggressiveness is bugging me it just refuses to remove my neck stubble even after five passes and a touch up. Aqua Velva was heaven as always.
