Had a poor Shave yesterday with an ER 1924 which is not the usual one that I use, having passed it on to a Shaving Buddy. I changed the blade today and the finished Shave was much better,though i think this 1924 is a bit more aggressive than my old faithful one.

Razor: Everready Streamline 2nd Generation- Mfg 1949-53, upper mid range, light touch gives excellent results, I find it one of my harder razors to master. One of the nicest eye candy razors IMO.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (6) excellent blade in all strengths that make a blade.
Soap: Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore- nice mild Tabaco vanilla scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Razorock Noir 400 Plissoft syn- geat brush for scrubbing with soft tips reminds me of my Omega boar brush.
Pre shave: Brush wash my 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 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Witch Hazel with a dollop of AVON True Gent balm.
