Razor: Gillette SS (Rocket version)X1-MFG 1952 1st qtr, mild razor, nice razor with a Kai SS blade. Carefree shave this morning.
Blade: Kai SS (1) Excellent blade,Sharp & smooth with great longevity. Wider than a standard Gillette for greater blade exposure.
Soap: Ogallala bayrum & sandal wood, nice mild scent with great lather qualities, excellent post shave feel.
Brush: Omega boar brush- One of my first brushes when experimenting with wet shaving(4yrs ago), funk smell at first and totally tortured that brush to get rid of the animal smell, did everything wrong to break in a boar brush properly. All I can say is it is well made and a good brush when broken in. Bought a new one recently and will try the proper method when breaking a boar in when it arrives!
Boar brushes should always be pre-soaked 2 min> for those who are new to wet shaving.
Pre shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with 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: Witch hazel + Ogallala Bayrum + sandal wood + a tiny dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BbS + no irritation + no weepers =
Excellent shave with my Gillette 1952 SS + a Kai SS blade.
Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!

Cream Saponificio Bignoli Black Berry & Moss
Brush Yaqi 24mm Purple Mink
Razor Gillette Single Ring
Blade Gillette Nacet Stainless 3rd
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Aqua Velva Musk
Really like the wonderful light scent from the cream. The lather is very nice too...thickly creamy and slick...
Shave with my oldest razor paired with the blade was good. As smooth as can be and comfortable for 3passes for between bbs to dfs result. This razor requires some fiddling for proper blade alignment but it's worth it. Rating 9.8/10!

Nice Proraso Blue shave with early 1930s Gillette England NEW RFB.
I decided to try a boar brush. Semogue 1305 performs well, even not broken in. Nevertheless, I’m not the biggest fan of the crazy hair day look. Badgers seem to have a more put together sense about them.
