Van der Hagen TTO razor
Van der Hagen ice tempered stainless steel blade
Leponix synthetic brush
Arko sensative shaving cream
Careone witch hazel
Brut aftershave

Warm shower prep with Dial antibacterial soap

This is my least favorite of the Arko creams. It performs well but it's fragrance free and smells like lye soap. It face lathers well and gives a good shave but it is boring. I did two passes and trouble spot clean up for a close enough shave. The witch hazel for the slight soap irritation and Brut to finish.
