I'd be really interested to know what you think of the Step Right Up; I can't get enough of it! I've put it on five times today already, and had a shower for no reason whatsoever except to put on some more and use the shaving soap as a body soap again. I'm a bit bored today, home alone, bad back, feeling a bit hibernateringish...

The soap seems to like a lot of water, especially at the loading the brush stage; the whole puck seems to explode when using a lot of water on it with a brush.

I think a large soap bowl is probably better than a smaller one; to capture all the lather!

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Neep 28 mm extra stuffed in Kenya soap stone handle
Razors: Japanese Ari-Ya + GEM Junior (for head)
Superlather: Dr Harris Almond + Proraso
AS: Ogallala, Limes and Peppercorns
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean

Prep Simple Soap
Razor Feather AC - SS
Blade Feather Pro
Brush Simpson Chubby 1 in Super
Shaving Cream Vulfix Persian Musk
Alum & Witch Hazel
L'Occitane Baux Balm
L'Occitane Cedre L'Atlas Eu De Parfum.

Jamie.

One pass shave with minor clean up, choose this razor, because i have a one inch cut to the bone on my index finger, after being very careless while buffing a razor without my gloves on, painful lesson learn't, two stiches and a nasty little scar.

PREP: Hot shower
CREAM/SOAP: Castle Forbes Sandalwood and Cedarwood Shaving Cream
BRUSH: 20mm Plisson black badger
RAZOR: 6/8 Kálmán Flaschner (Thanks Béla)
BOWL/SCUTLE: soup bowl
POST: Osma Alum
RESULT: Very good shave

Thanks for tips. Cannot wait to load up my brush. I am sure I will get a SOTD out of these products.
