Still not ready to switch razors. The Bunny V2.2 by Tom White is an incredible work of design, execution and art.

Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Arko Shave Stick
Jayaruh #424 Synthetic
Yaqi ShaDE Razor with Bulldog Handle
Gillette Silver Blue Half
CWR
Clubman Pinaud Lilac Vegetal After Shave

The Arko Shave Stick lathered well with the Jayaruh #424 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Yaqi ShaDE Razor with Bulldog Handle and a Gillette Silver Blue Half DE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Clubman Pinaud Lilac Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I remember seeing these nylon brushes in the store as a youth and thinking how awful they must feel against the face.  I got this Farmco in a lot, and it appeared to be unused.  I had to give it a try.   I bowl lather and paint the stuff on my face, so the first pass wasn't too bad.   Let's just say the skin was more sensitive on the subsequent two passes.   My youthful intuition was correct!!
Razor: Unmentionable 
Blade: Unmentionable 
Brush: Farmco Nylon
Pre-Shave: Proraso White
Lather: Noble Otter Lone Star
Aftershave: Seaforth! Heather Aftershave Toner
Additional Care:
