Congratulations. Before long you will have a long beard and bags under your eyes due to lack of time and sleep. Its more than worth it though.

Pre: Warm Coconut Oil
Soap: Pb Lemon Myrtle
Brush: Zenith Boar
Razor: Gillette Ball Tech
Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
Post: Jojoba oil
First run with the Ball Tech. Seems like a mild razor but still managed to cut myself. Shaves well. I think the combination of new unfamiliar razor and carelessness due to perceived mildness got the better of me.:)
 

Razor: Colonial General with Windrose handle
Blade: Feather Pro (6)
Soap: APR Fresca
Brush: AP Shave Co tuxedo
Post: Alum + APR CDV

Thoughts...
- great shave today. A little rushed with weepers but nice BBS.
- CDV is a great scent on the skin but I think Lixiviant suits me a little more. I am intrigued about it as an EdP though as drier notes may emerge.

A real Iberian vibe to tonight's shave. Fantastic performance from the Lea Classic soap in tallow guise (thanks @nav1 ).
Three passes - very comfortable and claret free, for a BBS result.
A simply great shave.

Nice mate! Glad you enjoyed it!
I love my Lea tallow!!

I cut the box and stuck the front of it on my container. You could do that for your container too, if you wish.

Another lazy shave, no picture, but as good as it gets output:
Pre: hot water
razor: Merkur 42c
blade: Wilkinson (3d use on the same edge)
brush: yaqi synthetic
soap: APR CdV
After splash: APR CdV
Homeworking so no EdP :)

My first ever shave with a synthetic, looks nice. I'll need more uses to properly rank it, i.e. against badger ones
 
Date: 13 September 2017 is nearly 11am in West of London

Pre: - Cold Water straight from the tap
Brush: - RazoRock Plissoft Big Bruce Synth. 26/63mm knot
Lather: - Palmolive Classic Shave Stick (european version grated into a plastic tub)
Razor: - Parker Variant Adjustable in Satin Chrome (WTG #5, XTG #3, ATG #2)
Blade: - Rapira Platinum Lux #4
Post: - Thayers Witch Hazel 'Unscented' / Bulldog Original Aftershave Balm

Slept in bed until 10am with too much to drink last night and it has been such overwhelming with the guys in London.
