SE SOTD- What was your tool of choice today?

SOTD, Thur, May 21st 2020

Razor: Gem junior 1912 parade with the baton handle-Mfg 1943, I find this 1912 model with this handle one of my favorites to shave with.The handle acts like a stand all in one. Also the corners of the base plate are rounded a little more than other older models IMO.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (6) just a great blade to use-very sharp, great longevity and smooths out after a few shaves.
Soap: Razorock XXX- great freshness scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 24 mm- great brush to lather with, soft tips, good splay with a nice scrub.
Pre-shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 3 + clean up.
Post shave: Razorock XXX with witch Hazel + a small dollop of Nivea sensitive balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = excellent shave with my Gem jr.

Razor: GEM Micromatic Bullet Tip Guiding Eye Flying Wing
Blade: GEM by Personna 3-facet Super Stainless (11)
Brush: RazoRock Barber 24 synthetic
Soap: Cella, red container
Rating: 10

Perfect shave on two days' growth today. BBS with zero irritation. Shave #11 on this blade, and no resistance today - unlike the last shave. Today, this blade felt like it still had lots of life left. Anyone think I can get 20 shaves out of it?

Maybe it’s the angle, but I have no idea what that is! Looks really cool. Details?

Broman and today after 19 shaves I switched to the second halve of the kai blade which still was shaving smoothly but I did start to feel it cutting a bit less. Will be interesting how long this halve will last.
Soap was a frankensoap grate of vergulde hand and fine Marinated with a intoxicating shot of as
