Yup. When I'm test shaving I'll cram in a bunch. Reliable tests are ATG on cheeks, WTG upper lip, and chin area, so each razor gets a good test (though not a full shave).

Brush: Bespoke Silvertip in Cocobolo
Razor: Frederick Reynolds Wedge
Soap: SCS Honeysuckle shave stick
AS: Thayer's Rose Witch Hazel

Excellent Shave, BBS!

Now, about that shaving cream. I like L'Occitane Cade SS a lot but the SC is a total miss with me, weak lather and very strong overpowering cologne-like smell that is nothing like the pleasant smell of the SS. I find the same goes for the ASB versus the AS.

Man, this has been an amazing SOTD thread, and it's not even the weekend yet! Outstanding stuff, gents!

Nightbreed, I thought I was jealous seeing those yellow scales (I believe Glen did), but then I saw that Södéren. What a gorgeous piece of shaving history!
