Soap: TOBS Eton College SC (love this scent, it's definitely a keeper)
Brush: Tweezerman with 22mm GN silvertip
Razor: Dovo Best Quality and Harris Bros 559 wedge for touchups
AS: none needed :D
Result: brilliant shave, beautifully smooth. Now this brush has stopped shedding and smelling, it's an amazing brush, although it does take a little more cream than my other brush in order to make a decent lather. My razors are right back at their optimum sharpness, a good stropping (60 linen, 100 leather) has brought their edges back for a short while at least.
