Pre-Shave: Warm Water splash / YBN Glycerin
Razor: Mühle Rocca R95
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (2)
Brush: Arno Classic #12, Gen5 synthetic
Bowl: DSC scuttle
Soap: Barrister and Mann - Spice
Alum: none
A/S: Old Spice Classic
Aftercare: Thayers Witch Hazel Unscented / Lily of the Desert 99% Aloe Vera Gelly
EdP: Tom Ford - Lost Cherry

This was a fast, two-pass (WTG) CCS today. Slight irritation which I countered with a bit of Thayers and some Aloe Vera Gel. Three small weepers which weren't weeping anymore after a touch with the styptic pencil.

I added a small splash of the Glycerin to my lather and that just created some of slickest, creamiest lather I ever had. B&M's Spice soap harmonizes incredibly well with Old Spice Classic, I almost can't find much difference between the two.

A new little brush from Frank Shaving (it actually was a throw in as I ordered two new Brushes which you will see over the next two Days). What a little power house. Good scrub on the face and made enough lather for a three pass and clean up.
