Greetings all!
Prep: Hot shower
Brush:AOS Badger
Cream: Queen Charlotte Key Lime
Razor: Gem SE w/ Pal blade
Post: Alum/Thayer's Lavender/Nivea Sensitive ASB
AS: TOBS No. 74
I received this SE last week from my cousin who is also very much into wet shaving, though he's more of a safety razor kinda guy. I'm amazed at how smooth these SE's are! I may post additional photos later to try and get some idea of it's history.

Drakkar EDT
This Heljestrand MK No.4 was just honed by life2short1971 and the edge was sharp, yet smooth. This was my best stright shave yet, even though I'm not getting BBS with a straight yet!

Saturday afternoon shave:
Music: Led Zeppelin on shuffle
Prep: Hot shower, facial scrub, conditioner
Pre-shave: Skipped it today!
Lather: Art of Shaving Sandalwood
Brush: Art of Shaving Fine Badger
Razor: Joseph Allen & Sons NON*XLL
Post: Warm rinse, styptic, Thayer's Cucumber Witch Hazel, cold rinse, Art of Shaving Sandalwood Balm
Result: CCS over most of the face. Not a single nick or weeper today, hurray! Lather was a bit dry. I've been face lathering with mixed results. Bowl lathering has been a disaster so far but I think I just haven't been spending enough time whipping it up. Going to pick up a better bowl and give that another go tomorrow!

Plenty, some take a bit more work finishing and others are a walk in the park.
