I'm kind of cheating as this was actually from last Saturday morning, but having been unplugged for a few days, I didn't have a chance to post it then.
I'm beginning to think that the ideal shave involves crisp autumn air, being surrounded by the reds, yellows, and browns of the season, flocks of geese flying south overhead, and a campfire in the background. Beautiful way to start the day. :)

L'Occitane Cade Soap/AS / #3 Rubberset restore with 22mm Silvertip / I. Oxley, a sweet razor.....
Hot towel this shave, rarely happens but when it does it's usually the best shave I've had in a long time.

Pre-Shave - Clean & Clear
Brush - Vie-Long horsehair
Soap - Palmolive
Razor - 6/8 Joseph Smith & Sons
This is the latest addition to my collection, a really solid medium-sized Sheffield wedge. The edge has a little bit of bite, but not bad for this type of blade. I think that it can be stropped out without going back to the finisher.
