Razor: Gillette reg Super speed flare tip B2-1956 2nd qtr, mild razor and designed for quick shaves, I like a wider Kai blade to give a little extra blade feel. I can get some decent shaves with this razor. Blade: Kai SS (6) excellent blade, sharp & smooth with great longevity. extra wide by .009 thousands of inch or .0045 per side wider than a standard Gillette for more blade exposure or feel. Soap: Ogallala Bayrum & sandalwood, I enjoy this clove fresh scent, good lather qualities(slickness is good when wet) Brush: Yaqi 24mm Moka express synthetic, excellent lather creator, heavenly cloud like soft tips with a nice scrub + great lather painter. Nice eye candy and reasonably priced on sale when I bought it, I pushed the buy button as usually on sales. 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 rinse + Ogallala Bayrum & sandal wood (clove) + a dollop of Nivea balm. Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers =excellent shave with my Gillette SS flare tip with a Kai SS blade.

I think I'm chopping and changing stuff too much, so I'll attempt to stay with this setup for a while. Every piece of this kit is excellent...

My new ASL was certainly an end-of-shave Zen Remover.
