Pre-shave: Hot water, Pears soap
Brush: Forgotten Art "Tarkine" 26mm Tuxedo
Soap/Cream: A&E Kaizen ((y) @Wilkshire13)
Razor: Razorock Hawk V3
Blade: Schick Proline
Post-shave: Homebrew moisturiser, La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF50+

It's been a while since I've used an A&E soap, and this didn't disappoint. It would have made a good lather shot if I had thought of it. :unsure: Maybe I didn't scoop as much as I thought, but I only had just enough for 2½ passes. I have a feeling I would get through a tub of this quite quickly. Scent is pleasant, light and sweet but not cloying like Asian Plum. My blade was only on day 3, but it skipped over the stubble in the briar patch under my chin :( so only DFS today...

Cheers. I do love me some old stuff. Even the Fenchurch is almost vintage :)
I was just thinking I will need to set the loft lower on these TGN horse knots, they are pretty soft. If it wasn't for the smell I would have thought it was something else. There was no scritch and it felt almost like a tuxedo, so no complaints.
