W&B Sunday Shave of the Day
I may not be able to cover the entire week with the theme brand but I'd get pretty close with W&B.
Pre: Hot Shower
SC: T&H Trafalger (fittingly English)
Brush: Rooney
Steel: Wade & Butcher Extra Hollow Ground (Shoulderless)
AS: Clubman Lime Sec
Result: Sheffield smooth.
So far it looks like a W&B parade, just grand. Can't wait to check back later and see more pics.

Sunday Dome and Face Shave
Hot Shower
Birth Year Ball End Tech (4th Quarter 1962)
Semogue 1305
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Witch Hazel
Clubman Bay Rum
Simple as a hammer 3 passes on the dome and 2 on the face. Not sure who says you can't mug lather this soap but I easily whipped of enough for the entire shave in just a minute or so. Kept warm in a large mug floating in a sink full of hot water. Result, great Sunday shave! Haven't decided on the theme week yet, I have my own rotation figured out but may deviate just a little in the interest of good sportsmanship. Tomorrow is Swedish Day, right? I've got 2 to choose from.
