Monday worked really well so I'll probably still with it all week:

B&B Essential v 1.0 Brush
Ikea shaving bowl
Dr. Harris Almond SC
'79 Superspeed w/a Derby Blade
Osage Rub A/S
 
- Proraso Pre/Post
- T&H Rose Shaving Cream
- Saville Row 3824
- Gillette 40's Style British Rocket
- Shark Super Stainless (3rd shave)
- WTG, XTG, XTG

BBS, good shave, but the T&H lather started to break down on the 3rd pass.

Hardware:
Brush: BBE
Razor: 68 Slim Adj. 9/3
Blade: Red IP (3)

Software:
Cream: TSD Lime
Splash: TSD Iced Lime
Milk: TSD Subzero
Cologne: Geir
 
Monday:

Plisson Brush
Penhaligon's English Fern Soap
Merkur Handled Trac II
Penhaligon's English Fern AS
TSD Lavender Milk
Penhaligon's English Fern EdT

I decided to give the Trac II a go today after a long respite. I've owned the satin finish Merkur handle for probably 15 or so years, but I haven't used it in a long time. I had a few leftover Trac II blades, so I decided to give it a go today. After getting used to the blade/handle angle, it gave a close irritation-free shave. I was actually pretty impressed...I think Gillette should have quit with two blades!
