SE SOTD- What was your tool of choice today?

Was kinda bussy with adding my dads legacy of single edges straight or hollow ground to local Dutch version of Craigslist a never ending story soooo much. Could try shaving with that chopper…

Simpson Chubby 1 / Maggards Ed2band
Hampshire Wool Fat soap
Schick "O" clone
Schick S/S Twin- Japan [ 2 ]
Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

Finally have got back to my Injector rotation, having tested some new AC/ SEs against ones I have had for some time.
Now this is a smooth Shave, not likely to cause any irritation but still a very close all round finish.Shame that these very good replicas have disappeared, and no one seems to know where they were made ?.

I survived a lathey foreman
ASRazor shave, July 6th 2021, thought my blade was spent from yesterday(8)but thought I would test this it in my Everready Streamline because it lets a person know in a hurry the blade condition, still a excellent blade on (9). Usually 10> shaves with a Gem blade.

Razor: Everready Streamline 2nd generation, Mfg 1949-53 excellent upper mid range> eye candy, once mastered it shaves great, a challenging razor at first to dial in but once that is done you will receive some great shaves, nice razor to use when # of uses on a blade gets higher to take full advantage of Gem coated blades IMO.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE blade(9) excellent blade, very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable.
Soap: Gillette Pure, nice fresh scent, great lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi High mountain silvertip badger, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, nice scrub, densely packed knot, great lather painter. Its Yaqi premiere brush if using pricing as a indicator, got mine on sale like usually .
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock Emperor(RR Creed Adventist Version)with witch hazel + a tiny dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= :a17: Excellent shave with my ER Streamline 2nd Gen + a coated Gem blade.
