Pre-shave: Dr Bronner’s Magic Soap, orange
Lather: Mike’s Natural  Orange, Cedarwood & Black Pepper Soap (sample)
Brush: Omega Shaving Brush #10048 Boar Bristle
Razors: Merkur 39C slant and Parker 22, both loaded with a fresh “Racer Super Stainless” blade
Post-shave: Alum block and aloe vera

A orange kind of shave today – very refreshing start on the week. The blade is the first blade out from the sampler pack I got from BestShave.net, the Racer blade is made in Egypt. Not the smoothest of shaves, the Racer seem to perform better in my 22R than in my 39C – the rest of the week will tell me more about how this blade performs for me.
