Razor: Taylor's Eyewitness Max Sprecher Restore
Scuttle: SWK XL
Astringent: Dickinson's Witch Hazel

Had a fantastic shave this morning. Nice long hot shower followed by a relaxing two pass shave. This was my first go with the SRD Blood Orange soap. It was accidentally sent to me and the good folks at SRD said "keep it." I'm a HUGE fan of tallow based soaps, but it's unusually warm today and I thought I would give it a go since I don't use a lot of citrus scents in the winter months. This is my first glycerin based soap, and I am thoroughly impressed. I prepped it just like I do with my tallow based soaps, a few drops of hot water before my shower. Loaded the Rubberset (a fun little restored brush I got off "the bay" a few months ago) without problem and whipped up a scuttle full of lather -- more than enough for two passes (and I'm sure more than enough for three+ if I had wanted). The Taylor's never disappoints. Haven't used used the Clubman in awhile, and I think it matched well with the Blood Orange soap. Overall, just a great eperience.
Have a great week everyone!
