    Brush: No name pure Badger from Amazon, broken in quite nicely
    Cream: CarrieM's Lilac, THANKS PAUL!!! It's a wonderful concoction!
    Razor: Gold Dollar 208... dulls a little fast, but I love the heavier grind!
    Strop: SRD Bridle and Webbed Fabric, She's a keeper
    Scuttle: The Virgin Run of my new Schwarz... Even with poor initial water heat, the lather was better, richer, and warmer than any yet. I'm quite happy!

    Result, BBS, NO irritation, and the first REALLY good under-neck shave yet!

    Cheers,
    Jeremy
