Finally managed to get a shave in...
several days' worth of stubble
Matt custom ivory super silvertip
prep - Trumper's Violet lather (not warm / long enough  )
shave - Trumper's Rose cream
6/8 Genco Master Barber (ambitious name, eh)
13/16 RW custom
Dr. Moss Scuttle (large)
Trumper's alum
Lanvin Aprege ASB
Less than optimal prep = even RW pulled (and it was velvet before). The Master Barber needs some sharpness.
Nevertheless - good shave, no cuts / irritation
Cheers
Ivo

7/8 George Wostenholm & Sonsbarber's notch, 1/4 hollow, IXL (thanks Gary)
