Razor: J. A. Henckels
Brush: Simpson PJ2
Soap: Fine Classic Italian Citrus
ASL: Pinaud Classic Vanilla

Pay no attention to the gold items in the picture. The Executive and Accutron are just window dressing today.

I was originally going to just use the Henckels on my cheeks and finish up the rest of the shave with my Executive.

But the edge on the Henckels felt buttery smooth on my cheeks, and seemingly reduced all of the stubble in one WTG pass.
Ok, so I used a bunch of short strokes going N-S, and a couple of goatee to ear swipes, and there was nothing left for another pass, so I decided to shave my neck with the straight also.

It turns out, I'm not nearly as prolific shaving my neck with a straight as I am with a DE, and I got too close to my goatee in a couple of places, got a tiny nick by my scar on under my left jawline, and didn't reduce nearly as much stubble as I did on my cheeks.

The Witch hazel went on like I hadn't shaved, ditto for the Classic Vanilla, I barely felt any sting or burn at all, and only used half as much Nivea balm as usual.

The shave may not have been very close on my neck, but it was on my cheeks, and it was irritation free.

It was a good shave.

Sunday Schick shave, August 14th 2022, Still enjoying my test with the modified Kai protouch guarded blade, settings 5,5 + pickups 9 and the blade is very smooth with good results + very unlikely to get irritation or weepers and still get a close shave. Any adjustable injector or Schick adjustables are best suited for this blade IMO for tweaking to person desire of shave wanted.

Razor : Schick adjustable injector model 3- Mfg 1970-72, excellent adjustable, well made, fairly long handle but manageable + one of my favorite Schick razors + will take any injector blade (Twins, different brands +modified blades) with ease.
Blade : Modified Kai Protouch (3) excellent sharpness & smoooth with reasonable longevity for a modified AC blade.
Soap : Razorock Fresco XXX mild mentholated, very nice masculine clean scent when dried down with excellent lather qualities. Very nice soap IMO.
Brush : Yaqi Aqua High mountain 24 mm silvertip badger- excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, great mild scrub, excellent lather painter.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Razorock XXX with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=excellent shave with my Schick adjustable injector M3 with a modified Kai protouch guarded blade.

Have some great shaves!
