Razor: Black Beauty (used for the first time today set on 5 for WTG and ATG, set on 1 for XTG)
Blade: Astra Super Platinum
Brush: Custom with a 24mm TGN finest banded badger
Soap: (Made a uber lather for the first time) Citrus goats milk shaving soap bowl lathered with Old Spice shaving lather and mix of essential oils with menthol
Aftershave: Skin Bracer
This is my first BBS to include XTG. Made the uber lather just for the heck of it and probably won't bother doing again. I can get just as good of a lather with just my soap. I will work menthol into my lather more often though. I really enjoyed the chill. Setting 5 on the razor was the perfect aggressiveness for going WTG and ATG and setting 1 was perfect for going XTG to achieve a BBS. And ending thing with Skin Bracer aftershave was very soothing. No sting at all. Tomorrow I shall find out if the same setup minus the uber lather will provide another BBS shave.
