Razor: 1940's Gillette Tech Razor
Blade: Astra SP
Brush: Custom boar brush
Pre-shave: Hot shower using baby wash on face and head with facial scrubber
Lather: Face lather with Arko stick
Passes: 2
Post Shave Routine and products:
1 - Hot rinse with microfiber towel X2
2 - Cold rinse with microfiber towel X1
3 - Alum block
4 - Cold rinse with microfiber towel X1
5 - Aftershave - Black Magic private collection alcohol free
6 - Balm: LEA 3in1
NOTES:I needed a mild shave today as my last couple shaves (one with the Dollartree DE razor) ended up causing some pretty big irritation. Waited 3 days to let things heal/calm down. Tried to bowl lather the Arko but it did not work well so I just face lathered. I saw a video that produced a great lather with nice peaks etc. I'll try again. 9/10 shave with very mild feedback from the alum and aftershave. I was not going for a bbs but got a great dfs with virtually no irritation.
