Strop: MickR's Roo Hide
Brush: Frank's Shaving fine Badger
Soap: Martin De Candre (Thank you Rene)
Razor: Unknown Sheffield 6/8 Wedge
Toner: Thayer's Lemon W/H
Balm: C.O. Bigelow Mentha
This wedge has just had a little refining on the hones, but I still feel like I can squeeze a little more sharpness out of it.
Still a great 3 pass BBS shave though.
The MDC performed exceptionally as expected and I just love the smell.
The C.O. Bigelow balm was the perfect way to finish after a HOT day here, its so cold it almost hurts, great stuff.

Afternoon shave for me very enjoyable, another perfect performance from the Feather AC - SS, I must also give a mention to the Vito's soft shaving soap very smooth slick and creamy, gives a great cushion to any shave.
