Back to my wet shaving roots, with some of the first things I tried:

Merkur Progress
Feather Blade
Vulfix Strand Pure Badger Brush
Proraso PRE/post
Proraso Shave Cream
Proraso Aftershave Splash
Proraso pre/POST
Hot Shower
Speick ASB

Nice shave! If I'd had feather blades when I first tried DE shaving I might not have gravitated to straights (so good thing I didn't). That Speick ASB is basic but very very good.

Happy Birthday jhenry!!
