Welcome from another SOTD newbie! Nice setup! I had a very nice cigar yesterday, a Juan Lopez no 2, nicely matured and lovely flavours combained with a good complexity. Cheers

Pre: Hot shower
Razor: Friodur 8/8 with cracked ice scales
Brush: Two banded finest 24 mm custom
Soap: Nannys Juniper
Astringment: Alum
Post: Proraso
AS: Lacoste Challenge
Result: Very nice! I love this soft soap, made by nanny Sharon in England (small manufacturer), I´ll only ordering from her from now and eventully only have nanny soaps and Cella. The rest´ll have to go. Maybe the odd high end soap, but that´s it. She only uses the very best ingredients... and no, you can´t have the the addy
Of course soaps are personal, but this one fits me soo good.
