Have a nice day!

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: M&F
Razor: Wade and Butcher for barbers only
Soap: MdC
AS: Lavanda
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Uberclean
I've been sick and I hadn't shaved in 5 days (that hasn't happened in many, many years), so I brought out some heavy hitters (MdC and the W&B) and it feels sooo good now, even though I'm still weak as a kitten and still sick

Prep - None
Strop - 3 Inch bridle leather/hard felt
Razor - Otto Busch "World Master"/stropped night previous
Brush - Muhle Retro silvertip badger
Soap - Williams puck & Old Spice cream, 6 drops glycerine, 1 drop lanolin
Post - Alum block followed Thayers witch hazel
AS - Aqua Velva Ice Blue

I now know what to do with the 2 worst soaps in my stash, make uber lather. The Muhle Retro generated just ridiculous amounts of lather. It made enough lather that I wished the handle was twice as long to keep my fingers out of it. If you want a brush that will generate and hold tons of lather this is one of the brushes that can do it.

Preshave: cold water splash, soap with homemade transparent rosin soap
Home made shave soap, face lathered with home made brush
Splash on homebrew hard cider aftershave

There are more details on the above items (other than the lotion, which I just made on Saturday, so have not blogged on it yet):
