Razor: Oneblade core 2nd version- Excellent daily driver, mild razor, I need 3 pass and it just does it's job for great shaves.
Blade: modified Gem Personna SS PTFE (3) excellent blade with great sharpness and longevity, predictable.
Soap: Sampler of Germyn TOBS - light scent with great lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Evil Zebra handle knot 26 mm syn- New & used for the first time, great lather creator, cloud like soft tips, good gentle scrub that will splay, very happy with another Yaqi in my shave Den.
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 3 + pickups. WTG +XTG+ATG + pickups. Oneblade works well with a 3 pass shave.
Post shave: Witch Hazel + Nivea refreshing Aftershave + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers =
Excellent shave with my Oneblade Core with a modified Gem blade.

Razor: RazoRock Hawk V3SB
Blade: Kai Pink (8)
Brush: Simpson T2
Soap: Proraso Green
Gradually spending more and more time on cleanup now, which is one sign it's time to retire the blade. Pushed out one last DFS, though.
Now to think up what I'm gonna use Friday...
