Shavemac pure badger brush
vintage scuttle (I find that TGQ's sample size shaving soap works perfectly in this one)
TGQ Cavendish Black
C.O. Bigelow Bay Rum a/s balm (not needed, but used anyway)
Black Bear brand strop -15 passes-post shave
8/8 Hamburg Ring (first shave with this razor, and also first time shaving with a blade this size)
3 passes, BBS
a nice coat of baby oil to prevent any spotting.
This razor shaves like a champ. Also found out why they call it a Hamburg Ring", the sound while stropping (didn't pre-strop) is a wonderful ringing sound.
