Razor: Valet auto-strop C1 Canadian variant- MFG 1920's, modified gap from .011 to .007 thousands of inch to smooth out the shave 2 years ago and enjoy my shave today. Nice to use a razor back from the roaring 1920's, Valet Auto strop was a household name at that time period.
Blade: Modified GEM Personna SS PTFE(3) excellent blade, very sharp, good longevity, smooths out nicely & predictable.
Soap: Italian barber Amici, nice mid red grapefruit scent, great lather qualities.
Brush: Razorock Noir plissoft 24 mm, nice lather generator, cloud like soft tips with good scrub back bone + great lather painter.
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: Italian barber Amici with witch hazel + Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BbS + no irritation + no weepers = Excellent shave with my Valet Auto-strop C1 + a Gem modified coated blade.

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

A most enjoyable shave.

I'm pleased to say that I've been keeping my SWB clean. Since the start of the month both my lather and my shaves have been improving (and I thought they were really good then). I've been steadily using less soap and getting more and better lather. I've been using even less pressure (I thought I'd hit the zero mark, but obviously not) and getting just the same good ol' BBS shaves.
The above just goes to prove that less is more (in my mind anyway).


Happy shaves guys.
