Prep: hot shower
Brush: New Forest
Razor: Cape, for barbers use
Cream: Palmolive
AS: Williams Aqua Velva
Edt: Trumpers Eurisc
Strop: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
I think I got the hard water issue solved, not as good lather as Nannys soaps the last two days, but never the less a very good Palmolive lather and very nice shave
