How do you shave?

I'm a wetshaver...I try to do a proper hydration before lathering up. I don't use a pre shove, tho I've tried them.
I was using a straight razor. My spine goes into spasm at times and I started to cut myself too often to continue with the straight.
I find this modern razor the best , just a squige under the straight...but no cutting.
After I scrape the hair off I use and alum block, after shave cream then an edt of some sort.
Here's what I use today. I love the scuttle. Keeps the lather nice and warm throughout the shave.
Cream or sopa. I'm using Mitchells Wool Fat at home this week. I love the Shave Den Lavender and Tea Tree cream.

Here's a typical setup when I was cutting away at myself
hahahahaha

I do miss the stropping. I enjoy my shaves, usually.
