Superb, indulgent, SE Sunday 3/20 SOTD- two and 1/2 passes for a BBS-, 10-/10 results; my face feels amazing; the only thing that kept this shave from epic status were two quickly disappearing weepers encountered:
Pre-shave- Proraso Pre-shave cream; yesterday's shave was great so I tried it again today
Razor: Schick Type D- this model Schick was the first "regular" handled injector, following the early magazine models and it opens scissor-like for cleaning; I'm not sure if I tried this one before, but after this shave it will get used
Blade: Chinese Schick injector (1) - the yellow package blades; lots of blade feel, but that's likely the razor; blade was sharp and smooth
Brush: Omega Jade boar- always delightful; I've been breaking in an Omega 10108, which for less than $10 is really good, just not as good as the Jade, which IMHO is the best of Omega boars
Soap/Cream: LaToja stick- just felt lime using this today, a fine budget soap
Post: rinse, then some La Toja splash, and finally some Anthony's Logistics ASB- a very indulgent, satisfying post-shave feel
