Great first shave with the Colonel.

Late Sunday afternoon:

Prep: 28-minute soak in swimming pool during workout, followed by shower, then shave a few minutes later

Omega Syntex brush, 90018.
Wilkinson Sword Stick
Slim Adjustable, I-3, set at 4(first pass) then 3
Dorco ST-301, 2nd shave
Body Shop Razor Relief, <2009 formula

Normally I shave Sunday nights, but this travel kit has worked so well after such a prep/soak, I thought I'd try it again. Still not sold 100% on face lathering. The lather for the first pass is still too thick, and the lather on the final pass is on the thin side. The Wilkinson Sword stick is such a fine soap, and the prep so good, however, that the overall effect is a DFS, which may get me through the day tomorrow.
