GEM DAMASKEENE + GEM stainless(12)/Saponificio VARESINO Manná/VIE-LONG Synthetic+Brito
today the froth overdried in the scattle; there were red dots due to poor gliding, but the razor and the blade shave softer and cleaner each time.
Sunday Shave, March 29th 2020
Razor : Pal injecto-matic - Mfg 1952> interesting razor & not overly aggressive IMO.
Blade : Schick injector (7)
Soap : Razorock Don Marco
Brush: Yaqi Tuxedo knot 24 mm - nice brush with the tuxedo knot.
Pre shave : Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar soap + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area!
Prep : cold water rinse after each pass of 3.
Post shave: Alum + cold water rinse.
Post shave : FINE fresh Vetiver with witch hazel + Nivea balm.
Results : CCS,DFS,CCS + alum indicated some irritation + no weepers = a good shave!
Have some great shaves!
I really enjoy this scent that FINE put together, I think I bought it from Italian Barber but all the shaving vendors stock FINE. I like a ratio of 4:1 seems to work well for me!Where did you get the Vetiver? Brand etc. and what is the ratio that you are using? How do you like it?
The reason I ask is that I will soon be out of my last mixture of witch hazel goodness and will need to make up a new batch. I looked up what it does and I like the things it does but wondering about the scent too.

"With 6 Stroned Blades" Had to looked the word stroned up. Seems it was something of a made up word that Eversharp Schick used in their advertisements.
