Pre-shave: Proraso Red
Brush: Omega 10083
Soap/Cream: B&M Reserve Spice
Razor: Schick Krona
Blade: Wilkinson Sword (1)
Post-shave: Alum block, Witch hazel, Bulldog original aftershave balm, B&M Reserve Spice
Hair Tonic: Jeris
Replaced the Derby Premium blade after four shaves with a German Wilkie. The German Wilkie felt slightly dull in comparison...I didn't expect that.

Is this the ViJon Spice (OS Clone)? Do you rate it or nah?

Yes, it's the ViJon OS Clone. Hard to beat at 2$/7oz, and it smells nice
I still have 2-3 bottles of the stuff but I'll definitively purchase a few more bottles next time I cross the border.

Pre: Hot shower
Razor: Smart Helix Apollo, Mild Plate
Blade: Gillette Rubie
Bowl: Handmade bowl, Mk3
Brush: RazoRock Silvertip Synthetic
Soap: Squadron, Group Captains Blend
Post: Squadron, Group Captains Blend Splash
WTG, ATG, touch ups with adjusted angles for my beard.
Yes I know, boring using the same razor.
Experimented today using a milder blade. I found the Rubie it to be a good balance between smoothness and efficiency in the Helix.
Look forward to trying out other blades in this razor.

These soaps are all near their (@tim33z ) "doughnuts". So, to be able to post on his thread I am going to hopefully finish all of these in the next few weeks. I shall only post razor and brush pics until they are all gone.
