Razor: 5/8 Tiger Wedge Hollow Point
Strop: SRD Premium IV (New - Thanks for the tip Jimmy)
Pre-Shave Cream: Proraso (New - Thanks for the tip Ralphy)
Shaving Cream: Proraso
Lather Bowl: Ceramic
Scuttle: RAB Ceramic
Brush: Medium Badger
ASB: Nivea replenishing
Aftershave: Mennen Original Skin Bracer

Great cool shave this morning! I included some new players into the shave kit list this morning. Just received these items yesterday. Thanks to JimmyHAD and Ralphy for their recommendations. The strop looks and felt great and I didn't realize what a crapper of a strop I had been using! The Proraso Pre-Shave Cream was great as well and really stood up the beard. (Either that or I slept next to a nuclear reactor last night!) LOL The Proraso combo really felt cool on the skin and the scent is something I will have to get accustomed to. It reminds me of when I had a cold as a Lad and my Mom would spread Vicks vapo rub on my chest and neck. Topping it all off was the Mennen Skin Bracer and I have a great face freeze going this morning! Have a great day Gentlemen!
