Brush: Rudy Vey Ivory Two Band
Soap: Penhaligon's English Fern
Astringent: alum block+Thayer's Witch Hazel
AS: Aveda
Result: BBS! This arrived in the mail today from the UK, whipped out the Maas and Dremel, some neatsfoot for the scales, and worked it on the hones. I was rewarded with a very interesting and near flawless shave. Wish I could show a before pic, I'm not good at taking those. No musical accompaniment, just lots of steam and tea tree oil. Get it, tea tree, t read... hehe
