Razor: Valet auto-strop C1 Canadian variant- Mfg 1920's, interesting razor because of the Strop mechanism incorporated into the razor for it's time era. I modified the gap from 11/1000 to 7/1000 of inch for a much smoother shave.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(8 binned) modified, excellent blade for sharpness, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable.
Soap: Ogallala Bayrum + sandal wood, nice Bayrum scent with some clove added to make it interesting.
Brush: Yaqi Cola 22mm synthetic, great lather generator, cloud like soft tips, great scrub + great lather painter. Nice handle to grip.
Pre shave: brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + 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 + sandalwood:001_wub: + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = :thumbup: great shave with Valet Auto strop with a modified coated Gem blade.
