Alu General & Schick Proline [ 7 ]
First use of this small Muhle Sivertex Brush[ 21mm], gifted to me by son, lucky I have small hands. In action rather impressed by the copious lather it quickly whips up. Seems ideal for working with small pucks,and can see me using it for Travel.

Razor: Valet auto-strop C1, Canadian Variant- Mfg 1920's NDC

, modified (1yr+ ago)blade gab from .011 to .007"thousands, it just made it so much smoother, the older blades might of not been as sharp as of todays because with .011" it was very aggressive I felt.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (1) Very sharp, excellent longevity, predictable and smooth's out nicely.
Soap: Tabac- mild flowery clean scent with excellent lather qualities IMO.
Brush: Yaqi Tuxedo knot 24mm with black marble handle- excellent and favorite lather creator with cloud like tips. Hard to beat!
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear aloe Vera gel on cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups, WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock blue barber with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS+ no irritation + no weepers =excellent shave with my modified gap blade Valet auto strop & modified Gem blade. Lots of modifications to make it work to my standards of a excellent shave it seems, great razor.

Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!

Occam’s Enoch / Sharp P30 (1)

First shave with the Enoch. I found it easier to blade load than my King Cobra, just as close a shave, but much smoother. 2 thumbs up!
