The Start Shaving Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #224 Synthetic brush.

Clog Pruf
GEM SS blade this being it's 12th shave
Proraso cream
Omega Boar
Acadian Spice Bay Rum
Today was the day to defoliate my head as much as possible.
It's been awhile since I shaved so to lighten the load on the amount of cut offs the soap and razor needed to handle I pre shaved with a battery powered "groomer" (looks like a tiny hair cutter for the head). That worked great! It produced a beard that resembled just a few days of growth.
I also gave myself a buzz cut. I saw an electric head shaver on TV and setting up for a haircut is an aggravation, but running a head shaver over the head every few days would be a piece of cake. FWIW, I have head shaved with a SE razor, but that removed thin slices of scar tissue and I prefer not doing that again. It didn't cause pain beyond the thought of what had happened. I prefer short hair, but that means a hair cut. I can live with maintaining a bald head to keep the ease of maintenance if the maintenance is easy. Does that make sense?

Twice a week I shave my head, usually three passes with a injector, or an cart-unmentionable. I have been wondering about those electric thang-a-mabobs. Let us know how it works out for you.
