Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Rooney 1/3 Super Silvertip Badger
Soap: Proraso White
Razor:Pils 101NE
Blade: Vintage NOS Personna P74 Tungsten Steel (4)
Post: CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: Hermes Bel Ami (sample)

Love at first use with the Rooney Brush. Very soft tips, and the knot splays beautifully, making it ideal for face lathering.
Was also impressed with the Proraso White soap. Easy to lather, and it performed very well.
Three passes for a DFS.
Finished with a sample of Hermes Bel Ami EdT. A chypre with influences of patchouli and Russian leather, a trait shared with Knize Ten. The Hermes is a more contemporary fragrance; both lighter and fresher than Knize Ten. Very nice indeed.

Only a single pass needed this morning. Really like the performance of this soap, nice and slick. Starting to get more confident with my straight razors now and have noticed the time taken to have a shave is coming down. Happy hump day.
