Razor : Warranted Sheffield 6/8
Brush : The Bluebeards Revenge Corsair Super Badger
Pre-Shave : Musgo Real Classic
Also The Bluebeards Revenge Pre-Shave oil
Shaving Cream : The Bluebeards Revenge Luxury Shaving Cream
Aftershave : The Bluebeards Revenge Post shave Balm
I cannot say enough about this Product line. I had the samples and had to get full size tins!! Love the post shave balm. Has witch Hazel and aloe in it. My face feels very hydrated and soft. The cream lathers effortlessly and takes hardly any product. Today was my first kick at the pre shave oil and it definitely made the shave even more effortless.

Shower after workout + ABC almond shampoo + Blenheim Bouquet shower gel
Tabac shave soap
AOS travel badger brush
Universal shavette + Gillette Silver Blue
Alum chunk + Cool washcloth rinse

Nice shave again with the Tabac and shavette.

HUMP DAAAAY!!
Had a solid 2-day scruff going. First time shaving with this razor, or any SuperSpeed for that matter. Also first time using Mystic Water and Personna blades. I guess my apparent inability to control variables doesn't make much of a scientist.
Pre-shave: Hot shower, Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash
Razor: Gillette SuperSpeed
Blade: Personna Red (1)
Brush: Semogue 1305
Soap: Mystic Water - Irish Traveller
After: Cold water spalsh, pat dry. Pinaud Clubman (I also missed out on last week's theme)
Had some technical difficulty getting used to the new razor. Shorter handle and a lot less weight compared to the Parker 91R I'm used to. Still came out with a DFS.
