For whatever reason, I seem to prefer heavier razors.

Which is one of the reasons I consistently get fantastic shaves from my Merkur Mergress XL.

Pre-shave:- Cool Shower
Bowl/Scuttle:- Captain's Choice Handmade Ceramic
Brush:- Semogue SOC-C5 Two Band Finest Badger in Cherry Wood 24/53mm knot
Soap/Cream:- HSSC and APR Collaboration 'Eclipse'
Razor/Blade:- Weber CH with MR11 Bulldog Handle / Gillette Minora Stainless #2
Post/After-shave:- HSSC and APR Collaboration 'Eclipse'
Moisturising Cream:- Aveeno Active Naturals Daily Fragrance-Free (for autumn & winter season)
Fragrance:- See above aftershave is like a cologne
Deodorant:- Milkman Furiously Nude Unscented (Australian made)

Too early for me to comment on the soap and aftershave, however, the aftershave scent strength is a lot stronger in my face at 8/10 and behaves like a cologne, while the soap from the tub is 5/10 which isn't strong in my face.
