I've been growing out the annual winter beard, so only head shaves for a while... I miss shaving my face :o!
Razor: Wade & Butcher
Cream: Speick
After: Witchhazel/'Colors' AS
This was my first razor. Bought it off e-bay and learned to hone and shave with it. Great shave, one pass all over, and another against the grain in back. Smooth with no missed patches for the wife to giggle at! Need to re-pin the razor as it is loose enough that its difficult to strop/hone/ shave with.
Brush: E. J. best badger
Soap: TSD - Bay Rum
Strop: Tony Miller Heirloom tri-strop (3x25)
Razor: Henry Sears & son "Diamond Edge" 13/16
ASB: Caswell-Massey Newport

Pre: Hot shower
Brush: Custom turned 23 mm two band finest
Razor: Boker
Soap: Prof Blightly´s Grapewood
AS: Prof Blightly´s Grapewood AS cologne
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Uberclean :D
Wow. One of those extremly close shaves, what a blade! The dear prof soap and AS was very nice, even though I messed up the soap part a little (forgot to put the brush in the scuttle before the shower), but it produced a good enough lather, never the less. The AS cologne was very nice and I still smell of lovely grape fruit :D

Manaslu M-55 | Honeybee Essentials Cedar Rosewood + Bomb in Boheme | Ever-Ready w/ TGN ST-A | Bomb ASB in Boheme | The Knize Tenhttp://i924.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/69dd74ad.jpg
What a shave. I decided to test my new Ozuku last night by running the Manaslu over it a few times. I did 10 laps with a light meijiro slurry then 15 with a tomonagura slurry followed by 20 laps with water only. The shave this morning was smooth like butter! The sweet shave was made all the better by the wonderful, rich lather that smelled like heaven! It was all followed up by one of the most classic scents I've ever encountered - The Knize Ten. This kind of performance can't help but get you going in the morning!
For those whose inclinations make them want to see more of the stone, I've prepared a less artistic picture:
