Pre-shave: Hot water, Pears soap
Brush: CaYuen "Copper Ore" 30mm SynBad
Soap/Cream: Czech & Speake - Oxford & Cambridge
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Schick Proline
Post-shave: Alum, Shower, Homebrew moisturiser, La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF50+.

A sublime shave slightly marred by my getting careless with my "Gillette Slide" and making a small incision behind my ear. Fortunately, my bottle of homebrew alum solution made short work of the bleeding.

Only if you can tell @Tony Forsyth to reinstate his wet shaving brush hobbies part time, he doesn’t have to keep making brushes all time. He can still enjoy his retirement and not completely give up his hobbies during his retirement.
