Razor : Oneblade Core version 2 - MFG 2018> excellent razor for a daily driver with a Gem.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE modified (10)
Soap: Arko - one of my first soaps when I got into traditional shaving, great lather qualities- scent is not optimum for some.
Brush : Razorock Noir 400 Plissoft synthetic- great brush and as close to a real boar brush as synthetics can get IMO.
Pre shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar soap + a dollop of Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep : cold water rinse after each pass of 3.
Post shave: Pinaud Clubman with witch Hazel + Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BbS+ no irritation + no weepers =just a great shave in my books.

OneBlade Genesis / GEM (7th)
Old Spice Cream (Original Scent from India) - 30mm Tuxedo
Mentholated Witch Hazel (Also with Old Spice scent oil added)
Old Spice Type AS (Home-brewed)
Soap Commander Classic Spice Balm
Full three passes, tiny bit of touch-up, but wow, glass smooth and smell great! - Probably skip shaving tomorrow, and have a couple days growth by either Sunday or Monday. (Working in the yard & around the house this weekend)

Hi Shavers, today I’m using a French product and this one just happens to be a fine shaving tool indeed. It may look aggressive but in reality it’s not but provides a DFS paired with some Mike’s Natural
Great Day Smooth Comfortable Shaves
